Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

  Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm

  Make sure it defaults to OFF after power loss. My colleague had a close call when the smart plug with the infra panel plugged in decided to turn on after the power outage.

    Yes we have several of the AthomTech ones that ship with Esphome. There’s a power loss setting on them “on, off, as before”

  Would you mind sharing your automation yaml for the garden lights? I’d love to do more with Bluetooth beacons but don’t know enough about how they work to do anything with them.

    We have it hidden in the letterbox. The mobile app has a Bluetooth beacon setting where you can have it report either specified beacons to HA, or all of them and you can filter for the ones you want at that end.

    The automation looks for the beacon to be reported from either of 2 devices and then switches the lights on, quite basic.

    We have a separate automation that turns the scanning for beacons setting in the phone app on at dusk and off at 3am. And another that turns the garden lights off after 10 min triggered by them being switched on
