Exploring Reactor: A Smart Automation Scheme for Away Mode

I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation with Reactor, and it’s been an exciting journey! I’ve set up a comprehensive scheme of activities—like turning lights on and off, and controlling the TV—all triggered when the house mode is set to “away” and after sunset. The goal is to create the illusion that someone is home, especially when we’re away on vacation. It’s a long list of activities, and I’m eager to see if it works as intended!

One thing I’m curious about is how to verify if the lights were on or off at specific times. I’ve tried checking the logs, but it’s not entirely clear. Does anyone have a straightforward method or tool to monitor and confirm the execution of these automation rules?

It’s been a learning process, but seeing the system come together is really satisfying. I’m excited to see how this setup performs during our next trip. If anyone has tips or tricks for optimizing such schemes, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks to the community for all the support and inspiration. Here’s to smarter homes and peace of mind! :blush:
