Create a switch that automatically fades the lights when we’re watching something. I specifically want this to show up as a switch with HomeKit and Alexa. I don’t know if I can do that with an input_boolean. Another option might be to make a template switch that is attached to the automation states.

Also, this should be separate between the living room and bedroom. I wonder if I can use a better naming scheme then, say, “living room auto movie lights”.

I've successfully flashed one of the cloud lamps in the nursery with Tasmota, and got it set up. I've been able to manually issue commands over MQTT to create lighting effects (such as a cycle through the rainbow); however, this requires multiple MQTT commands to different topics. (Also, Home Assistant does not natively support creating effects manually).

I want to see if I can make an MQTT light that publishes to topics subscribed to on automations, and use those automations to send the relevant MQTT commands to the actual bulb.

This will be a good first package for #13.

Send a notification whenever a door is left open. Also provide the option to close it in the case of the garage door.

I’ve discovered the ability to create packages and think this would be a really good way to organize my Home Assistant configuration.

I’m inspired by Frenck’s Home Assistant Configuration

Whenever I change the brightness on light.rocker_lamp (which is a GE Z-Wave Plug-In Smart Dimmer), I have issues with it sometimes not wanting to change (including when I turn it on and off). It appears to be trying to transition gently, and sending the brightness level with each fade step to the Z-Wave controller (in my case, OpenZWave).

For example, in my automations to automatically turn the light on and off with motion at night, it successfully turns on at 10%, but then when the automation calls the light.turn_off service, it eventually comes back at 7% brightness.

The light automatically turning on with motion is nice, but when we turn it off because it’s still to bright to keep the baby asleep, it immediately turns itself back on.

Is there a way we can limit how often the automation runs? Or maybe make an input that allows to switch between “off”, “on”, and “auto”?

I'm having issues with the temperature fluctuating in the house--let's see if we can make some sensors to resolve that

What is the best way to support both individual and grouped control of living room lights?

Home Assistant should send everyone a notification when the weather changes to rainy and there are open windows.

I want to create sensors that provide the status of my Habitica profile using the Habitica API, including my health, mana, and the number of tasks that I have.

I currently have two Apple TV’s using the beta Apple TV integration. I need to integrate them into Lovelace.

I'd like to try re-organizing my configuration by functionality. I think in the long run this will make it easier to understand and update different functions of my smart home.

So far, I don't get any notice if a device has a low battery.

I think the best thing to do would be to make a conditional card that uses entity filters to show devices that have low batteries.
