I’ve been really impressed with how NodeRED has helped me streamline my smart home automation. A feature I’ve found particularly useful is the Time of Day design pattern, which I recently implemented using BigTimer nodes. This setup allows me to automate various tasks based on sunrise, sunset, and specific times throughout the day. For instance, I’ve configured my lights to adjust gradually in the morning and evening, and my thermostat to follow a schedule that aligns with my daily routine. The flexibility of this system is amazing, and I’ve been able to tweak the timings to perfectly suit my lifestyle. If anyone has tips for further enhancing this setup or has tried similar automations, I’d love to hear about your experiences!
