Hi all, I'm wondering what kinds of things people have automated as I am fairly new to this. I automated my Christmas lights to have them go on @ dusk, off @ midnight, on @ 5am, & off @ sunrise. I recently automated my electric razor charger to charge twice a week for 17 hours to prevent me from forgetting to charge it often enough, yet extend battery life by not over-charging. I've also automated shutting off lights in bedrooms 30 min's after sunrise & 30 min's after activity has stopped in a particular room during daylight hours. I"m also thinking of trying out a light based wake up system to replace or enhance my alarm clock. I think I'll use a remote commander by my bed to enable & disable that wake up call on weekdays when I am on vacation - maybe I'll use a 2 flash signal to let me know it is activated, and a single flash to let me know it is deactivated (would combine with a variable set to true or false). What other kinds of things have you automated?
