I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it.

I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered.

Any ideas for a new thing I can play with?

My CO2 sensor has dramatically changed my routines. My space isn't small - maybe 1200 square feet/100 sq m - but it must be pretty well sealed, because I can easily see my own breathing add to CO2. Nevermind cooking on the gas stove. Treadmill time adds 500+ ppm.

Now, I open windows every chance I get (which isn't super often, because the dewpoint is 70 oF/20 oC in Atlanta), and I've shifted a lot of my cooking to an electric tea kettle, hot plate, and toaster oven.
