Engineering implies working within constraints. Most people in this realm only have to deal with the spouse acceptance factor as a limiter.

Went from openhab -> homeassistant -> Node-RED. Then sprinkle in MySensors, Frigate, and Double-Take, but not on just the entrance, go for the perimeter then defense in depth.

The analog doormat has been there for years, last month added a pumpkin but didn't expect it to last this long. About to manually uninstall the pumpkin and go back to barebones.
