What are some home automation projects you have been working on? Recently I setup a counter for when the sump pump runs, and an alert if the pump gets stuck on.

    want to make a “blowout” mode for the fall which would cycle through each zone with time dwells in between for the compressor to reach pressure.

    Huh, never really thought about automating that. Currently I just plug my compressor into the system and flush out all the water manually.

    I have some logic that holds presence in the room for different durations depending on the time of day.

    I do the same and it works pretty well for areas where you usually just walk through but starts falling apart in toilets, bathrooms and the the kitchen where you usually stand/sit for a longer period without moving.

      My sprinkler system takes a long time to blowout with my air compressor. I have 1.5 acres, so the pressure doesn’t last long.

      I also don’t have motion lighting in any bathrooms, etc. My motion lighting is in all the major rooms on the main floor. But I don’t turn off the lights till all motion on the floor clears. I just dim the lights based on percentage occupancy.
