Good morning everyone! I wanted to share a clever workaround I found for a common morning conundrum—automated lights turning off while I’m still in the shower. Let me walk you through my setup and solution.Every morning, my smart home automates to turn on various lights, including the bathroom light, as part of my wake-up routine. However, I often find myself in the shower later than expected, only to have the lights shut off at 10:30 AM, plunging me into darkness. It was a frustrating issue, but I figured out a neat way to handle it.Here’s what I did: I installed a smart switch near the bathroom door. This switch is programmed to trigger a simple automation script. When pressed, the script delays the execution of the 10:30 AM lights-off automation by 15 minutes. This gives me just enough time to finish my shower without the lights cutting out prematurely.The setup was surprisingly straightforward. I used a combination of Home Assistant’s automation editor and a bit of custom scripting to create the delay. The best part? This solution is entirely customizable. If 15 minutes isn’t enough, you can adjust the delay to suit your routine.I’m thrilled with how this tweak has improved my mornings. It’s a small change, but it makes a big difference in convenience. If anyone has similar issues or other creative solutions, I’d love to hear about them! Happy automating everyone! ![]()
