I’m curious to what’s been the better devices for automation and smart home hardware that’s made your home better? I’ve got hue and Tapo hubs with a few bulbs and a single motion sensor for night time bathroom trips, but I feel there’s so much more! Edit: using Amazon echos too. I have cables internet to 2 rooms with tvs downstairs and one upstairs as an office.
ESPresense! Especially if you’re into ESP32-based things.
It lets you track Bluetooth beacons from different devices - such as phones, watches, laptops, etc. With HomeAssistant it’s pretty easy to automate lights based on your distance to the Espresense node, although requires a bit of tinkering.
