Morning coffee is a sacred ritual, and as someone who often gets distracted, I’ve found myself in the frustrating situation of forgetting about my coffee grinder mid-brew. Enter automation—my new best friend in the kitchen!
I recently set up an automation using an old Iris Smart Plug for my coffee grinder. Initially, it was a simple remote shutoff feature to prevent the grinder from running indefinitely. But then I noticed something interesting: the power draw drops consistently when the last beans are gone. This led me to create an RM rule that shuts off the grinder 10 seconds after the power draw drops below a certain threshold.
This automation has been a game-changer! It’s not just about convenience—it’s about peace of mind. Every time it shuts off automatically, I feel a sense of accomplishment, even though it’s just a grinder doing its job. It’s these small automations that make mornings less stressful and more efficient.
If you’re looking to streamline your morning routine, I highly recommend exploring similar automations. It’s a fun way to integrate technology into everyday tasks and can lead to some surprisingly satisfying results!
