** Sorry for the strange audio, hard to find a quiet place to record when traveling **
Hey everyone, we're back from vacation, and actually, that is the topic of today's video: vacation mode in Home Assistant.
In today's video, we show you how to create some building blocks in order to quickly swap your home in and out of vacation mode. In addition, I show you manual automation that I use to randomly turn lights on and off in my house. I know it's just a simple video this week, but hopefully, it inspires you all to come up with some future ideas for your house.
❓What future topics would you like me to cover??❓
