Today I made

#homeassistant

remind me to take out our dogs.

I have a timer that counts down, and if the timer expires, it sends me a notification to take them out. Timer is reset when I take them out.

Initially I was scanning an NFC tag to reset the timer. But now, I configured frigate to detect dogs on my back porch. When a dog is detected, the timer resets. As long as the dogs go outside before the timer expires, I should never actually need reminded, but will if I lose track of time.

Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from

developers.

Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.
