      Resist the temptation, hundreds of hours will be lost down that rabbithole after you start.

      Though, it is kinda cool stuff, when it’s working.

        Don’t listen to him. Sure it may take a few hours a day over the course of a month or so to get right, but with the time you’ll save from all that automation you’ll break even in a few hundred years - and they it’s all gravy!

            Peace of mind. We have a light that lights up red when a door is open. At the end of the night we get an announcement “all doors closed” - last night I got an announcement telling me one door was open - I went there and sure enough: the magnet side of the sensor had fallen off, door was closed.
