Eh… best lit review I could find only found that smell predicted preferences among non-birthcontrol-using fertile women. So… Smell nice around them maybe? Lit review

I would just use the old “Home changes to 0” state, and add a conditional for night (not night) and another for a triggered timer. I call my timer “Nanny mode”, and it just blocks ‘away from home’ automations while it’s running. I just need to remember to hit a button on my dashboard once a day or so, starting the 16h timer.

Here’s my “set the alarm and lower the blinds when we leave, and put them back when we get home” auto:

These are the best. The Flex Firehose ones may not be super repairable, but they straight up last forever. I wore a rotation of 3 of these for 3 years straight before I saw the first fray.

On one hand, it would be nice for us to drop the smart plug here, but at least those can be entirely local-only. I highly doubt any device API would be local.
