Welcome to We Love Automation!

This is our first community so we can afford not to be picky with specifics. So if you want to talk about a cool python script you made or are trying to make, or if you work in mechanical engineering, I think many would be excited to see cool ways you are automating physical jobs!

Some items to get you started with that will be posted here:

What if your colleague is a bot? Harnessing the benefits of workplace automation without alienating staff (theconversation.com)

It's funny because, as I am sure many of you also have, I have been called a bot at work all the time for the things I come up with and how much work I can get done in such little time.

What kind of things are you automating in your every day life? (weloveautomation.xyz)

Can be anything, iOS shortcuts, Tasker, bash scripting, home assistant/homebridge, etc.

My old house I had a pretty nice Home Assistant setup, I still need to move everything over to my new house and set it up. Things like automating lights, laundry machine speaker and phone notifications, TV notifications and reminders, dehumidifier triggering, climate control.

I also have some simple automations going on my linux server for maintenance and backups. I run Plex_Debrid on my server and sometimes the Real Debrid docker volume goes out. So I have script running every few hours to run a docker exec command to see if any files are showing in the realdebrid directory and if not, take down the plex and plex_Debrid docker container and re-map the volume and boot back up.

iOS shortcuts is pretty handy, for some reason the light/dark mode transition on my iPhone doesn't work great so I made a shortcut automation and it works much better. I setup a pretty cool NFC Medicine Taking system as I have to taken a few different meds every day and at different times. I can just tap my phone on my medicine and it will tell me if i have taken it yet or if its time to take it. Very helpful with my ADHD causing me to forget to take them all the time.

I know I have more I am not mentioning now, plus a whole assortment of different automations to automate my job.

Is it any good? Anyone have a chance to play with it much? AI gimmick is blowing up and so many unnecessary applications. This one could be cool if it actually works well. The one time I had it modify a flow it just deleted it lol
