What else to automate/integrate

  • If you havn’t already, you can add object and face recogniction to your cameras and also implement notifications to your phone for various events, such as sending a picture when a person is detected outside your house when you are not home etc. I’m using Deepstack for object and face recognition. Face and person detection with Deepstack - local and free!

  • I have also integrated my smart watch to track calories, steps, distance etc. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/fitbit/

  • Device trackers for family members

  • If you have any pets, you can search for empty-litterbox-reminder , automatic food dispensers and other projects on the forum.

  • Notification when washing machine need to be emptied

  • Mailbox sensor

  • Notifiction when a new eposide is available for your favourite tv show

  • Calender integration with TTS notifications

  • Garbage pickup reminder

  • Magic Mirror

  • Try alternative frontends/automations such as Appdaemon, Nodered etc.
