    Before I configured Claude, I was completely lost with dashboards. With Claude, I had a couple of false starts, but I now have a fully working dashboard.

    I have also used it to rationalize entity names for devices that have changed rooms/uses.

    I have a couple of automations that are incredibly useful. I used Claude for all of them, but I will say a few of them needed tweaking.

    Living Room blind: close blind if both people leave home. (we do not subscribe to nabu casa, had to be failed ping on phone). Then if either person returns home, open blind except if after sunset, then leave blind closed but turn on lights on driveway.

    Washer/Dryer: We have a dumb washer / dryer. Used a 4 gang switch from Amazon to service 4 people. If you want to be notified when washer/dryer is done, press your button. If you want to unsubscribe double press button. Here’s the great part. Log all washer/dryer completions in a Google Sheet. (yep, Claude did that).

    I have a bunch of others, but this post is too long already. (nfc tags, motion detector, etc).
