Funny story about #homeautomation . I do a LOT of it. Lights, thermostats, even my swimming pool pump and heater. I’m good enough. Not great, but good enough. Of COURSE my #christmaslights are hooked up to #homeassistant. The outside lights come on at _sunset_ (which changes slightly each day) and they turn off at 11pm. I also have the outside lights turn on in the morning at 7:00am. I intended for them to run a little in the dark morning when a few people would be awake, and then turn off at 8:00am.

3 weeks ago, when I put up all the lights and created the automations and scenes, I forgot to write the “turn the outside off at 8am” scene. (I turn inside lights on at 7am too, but they stay on all day) I never got around to it, despite how much time I spent in front of my computer over the holidays.

So for this whole holiday season, at least 3 weeks, I have been remembering around 8am, and manually turning off the lights. It’s a single tap on the home assistant app. But I just never got around to fixing this one thing. 🤦🏻

Looking for something "Christmas-y" to do, but you still want to #SocialDistance? A tradition in our family has always been to drive around and look at #ChristmasLights .

Many of the houses in this database have gone to great lengths and spent countless hours designing and putting up their light displays. Some even use localized radio broadcasts, robot animatronics, and advanced computer programming to get the right effects.

The link below is a great website where you can find decorated houses and city displays near you. It claims to be "international," but I can not speak to that aspect. For northern Illinois in the USA, however, it seems to be VERY accurate. In the past few years, there have only been a couple of places that were listed, but had no lights up that year. Overall, the database seems to be kept very current.
