I don't have a lot of automations, but I collect a lot of data with my home assistant. My favorite ones are mostly outside lights.

I turn on my driveway lights at dusk and off at dawn.

Similarly, I do my holiday lights the same, except turn them off at 11 PM.

I have another that alerts me when my ZFS Pool is unhealthy.

Another is to notify when the washer and dryer are finished running.

I have a washer notification too (dryer beeps on its own). Very handy.

Ours both beep, but can be tricky to hear sometimes. I also have them notify on the television using the Android TV Notification Service. It can be handy when we have it on and waiting for it to finish.
