This is a project focused on sharing ideas and solutions for the use of Home Assistant and home automation in general. I am currently running Docker on the Mini Intel Nuc Celeron J3455 8gb 1tb.
I will update my configuration files regularly. If you like what you see, feel fre to ⭐ my repo!

Notify when the water heater is ready
Every time Water Heater is turned on, this automation turns on. The Water Heater has a power meter. When this power meter reads 0w and the switch is on, this automations trigers. This automation only run if time is between 09:00HS and 05:00HS.
- Play on Google Home with TTS
- Text notification with Telegram
Notify power consumption daily
Every day at 23:59HS
- Notify each power consumption reads (Heater, WaterHeater and Refrigerator) and total of the current day to Telegram
- Save power consumptions to Google Spreadsheet
Notify power consumption monthly
Last day of month at 23:59HS
- Notify month power consuption to Telegram
Notify when front door is open
Front door sensor ON
- Notify front door open to Telegram and Google Home speakers
- Notify if front door is open for 2 minutes to Telegram
