• I have no garage door opener so I added a tag in my car to open the smart garage without having to open the app and fiddle with things.
  • I added a tag to our light switch that turns on our bedroom lamp (softer, more pleasant light at night).
  • I added a door tag to unlock the door (no information contained on the tag so nobody can break in).
  • I added a tag that pauses an automation at night so my stair lights don’t come on with motion sensing.

This is literally just the tip of the iceberg. I think of a new one every couple hours. Anyone have any other cool ones to share?

    Do you really always have your phone on you when you’re at home? When I’m outside then yes I have it in my pocket, but at home it’s either charging or just on the table in a different room.

      I usually have my phone with me most of the time when I’m at home.

      This is why they aren’t useful around the house for me. I will say that I regularly use the one glued to the outside trim of my garage door (white on white trim so completely hidden dot) to open and close my garage when out biking with the family. That’s actually really useful.

      For sure. I would honestly love to not but I work from home so it’s easy to watch a movie and wait for a teams notification if I’m needed :)
