Good afternoon!
They say: “Life is lived, not a field to be crossed.” Unfortunately, our family faced a test - my wife’s illness. We went through this stage together, side by side, and now we are learning to live by new rules.
One of these rules is the mandatory taking of hormonal drugs every morning at a clearly defined time. The question arose: how to provide my wife with a glass of warm water right next to the bed so that she doesn’t have to get up?
Solving the problem.
I purchased an office cup warmer. So that the water was at the right temperature at the moment of waking up, I connected it to the H2 smart socket. I set up an automation scenario: the socket turns on and off at a specified time.

Safety and overheating protection.
For reliability, I added a few more levels of protection:
Time limit: I created an automation that automatically turns off the outlet if someone tries to turn it on outside the set morning schedule.

Power control: I set up protection based on current consumption (over 30 W). If the power exceeds the norm, the outlet instantly turns off, and I receive a push notification on my phone.

Now I am calm that the medication will be taken on time and comfortably.

By the way, I have 5 more useful automations based on the following outlets:
- Heating the food cellar;
- Controlling the heated towel rail;
- Heating the workshop;
- Automatically turning on the TV;
- Controlling the pump for pumping drinking water into the system.
Technology really makes life easier, especially when it serves the family’s good.
Thank you for your attention, see you soon!
