Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do. What are your favourite automations running at home?

A two things that will run when the house is unattended.

An automation that turns off all lights at 11PM
A vacation mode that you turn on manually but switches off automatically when you arrive back home.

The vacation mode can do things like turn on more lights than you would have normally, turn on the TV or some music, etc.
