Ha! That's terrific!! Neat idea.

My wife just detests the idea of remote-controlled anything (except when it suits her LOL) but does appreciate the "sensor" portion. When we are away from the acreage it's good to know what's going on there.

I use the UPS monitoring to tell if the power has gone out ... the UPS will run my fibre (yes...FTTH in the middle of everywhere BC!) and I can VPN into the system throughout that time to see if/when power is on or off. If need be then I can take appropriate action, like call a neighbour for assistance.

As a non-coder, doing YAML anything has not been too easy, and trying to get automations right or get the various cards to "look" the way I want hasn't been too simple either...but I'm slowly getting there.
