Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do. What are your favourite automations running at home?

I'm really happy with the automated hallway and bathroom lights I set up with some Tuya ZY-M100s + smart dimmer switches so I can make the brightness vary with time of day. The lights automatically come on and ~95% of the time at just the right brightness too. Feels like magic.

Also tying our main kitchen lights and accent lights (under cabinet LEDs + salt lamp) into the same switch has been great since it means we actually use our accent lighting (otherwise we often wouldn't bother).
