Messing with family can be fun. I was out of town last week and on a break from my meetings I was showing some people what HomeAssistant can do. I turned the tv on, turned on and off a couple of lights in the kitchen, breakfast room and den, increased and decreased the volume on the tv. I didn’t think anything of it. It was 8:00 AM and everyone should be at work or school by now. After about two minutes of turning things off and on and showing how automations work, I got a text from my wife “STOP IT”. Everyone immediately started laughing as I realized I was an hour ahead of her and that it was 7:00 am at home and she was eating breakfast. Talking to her later that day, i found out that she had been watching one of those poltergeist movies the night before and the first thing she though of as the tv and lights started doing their own thing was “oh my god, our house is possessed!!!”.

Should this be in Share Your Projects?
I think you should post the text messages going back and forth the next time you do this…

I travel to Europe a lot and caught doing the same thing; but at 2am her time… didn’t even think about it as was so caught up in geeking out and showing HASS off. I got a phone call. She was to the point: “Knock it off or the little box goes down the toilet”
I guess I had the kids freaking out thinking the house was haunted… So now I think twice
