We really do live in a boring dystopia

I got a family that likes to leave the damn light switches all on at night, I’m no longer going around and shutting them all off when everyone is in bed. Also, they are tied to my alarm, when I disarm the alarm or it goes off, they all come on.

But I’m doing all this through Home Assistant, a local open source automation server, not any of this cloud bullshit.

That sounds more like a social problem than a technical one…
