I've been slowly incorporating HA and automations into our lives. One button to turn off all the lights at night, curtains that open and close according to sunrise/sunset, a notification when the mailbox is opened, etc...

My wife has been resistant home automation, calling them pointless, but I think she's starting to appreciate them and she's grown accustomed to not having to flip light switches or turn off the air conditioner when she leaves the house...

Today, however, she finally asked me about setting up a new automation!

"Can you make the opening to My Way by Frank Sinatra play over the speakers when the curtains start to close?"

There's a chance she's kidding, but I'm gonna interpret this as a sign that she's starting to like them and I'm gonna do it anyway. wish me luck!
