I’ve done a lot of automations to make my life easier but now I’m onto just making cool and over the top automations that bring me joy. It’s been surprisingly more difficult than I expected and I haven’t been able to find too many resources, even with the help of chat gpt. Some examples are (I haven’t done all of these yet)

• Broadcasts the AIM “you’ve got mail” when I get mail
• Broadcasts the house dramatically coughing when the air quality sensor spikes
• When I say Let’s Take Shots, the song “shots” comes on, a disco ball turns on, and a drawer filled with shot glasses opens
• (Love this one, not my idea) When a decorative snow globe is shook the lights start flashing blue and white, some winter music plays, and some twinkle lights turn on
• Lights dim and turn red and romantic jazz plays when I open a bottle of wine (triggered by NFC on the wine opener)

If you have more ideas, instagram/youtube accounts to follow, or any other resources, please let me know!
