I love custom HA work flows that are specific to ones needs. Great job! Show’s the beauty of HA that most people miss when all they do is the standard stuff, but you can basically do anything you can imagine. I have door sensors and instead of only relying on a baby monitor, when my toddlers open their door after 2200, the lights turn on in the hallways (so they see something) and a light in our bedroom turns on as well as a notification on the phone. Because sometimes toddlers are sneaky and you hear nothing on the baby monitor. Set this up after I heard one of them cry two floors down (he went through the entire dark house alone down two flights of stairs).
