Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation and wanted to share a couple of tips that might help others out there. First off, I stumbled upon a neat way to earn Govee points that I hadn’t considered before. Apparently, if someone uses your referral code to purchase a product, you get 20x the points they spend. It’s a clever way to boost your points without much effort! I’ve already shared this with a few friends, and it’s been a fun way to earn more points for my smart home setup.
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with Google Calendar integrations in Home Assistant. My goal was to set up an automation that triggers specific actions based on calendar events. For example, I wanted to post a message to my AWTRIX clock when it’s time for the weekly recycling pickup. After some trial and error, I figured out how to use the calendar trigger along with MQTT to send notifications. It’s been a game-changer for keeping my daily routines synced with my smart home devices.
I’d love to hear from others—what cool automations or hacks have you discovered lately? Let’s keep the ideas flowing!
