    This release is less of a priority to me.

    I don’t use AI stuff or Voice stuff in my setup and most of the additions, fixes and improvements are related to those two.

    More backup options is cool, although I only use local backups anyway.

          That’s the answer commonly given but I don’t understand how automation can handle the ad hoc nature of life. Here’s some examples, maybe you could explain how this works for you?

          • Watching TV and I’d like the lights dimmed or turned off.
          • Finished putting laundry away and laid down to go to bed.
          • Someone left the kitchen and the light is still on. I want it turned off without having to get up from the couch and I don’t want to wait for the motion timer to expire.
          • Someone is coming over, say Pizza delivery, and I want the exterior lights to go back to full bright before they arrive.

            The easiest is probably a motion/presence sensor. When there is no movement, turn off the lights. When there is movement, turn the lights on, if it’s dark.
