My internet provider Hathway (in Pune, India) used to throw up a login page every now and then throwing all my networked devices out of gear. The captive portal required doing login via browser to start internet again. I wrote automation scripts on Raspberry Pi to figure out when internet access is gone and then to do auto-login. Here is the detailed blog -

I have also automated all bathroom lights and lights on basin to switch on based on motion sensing using these cheap switches

This saves energy by solving my problem where I used to forget switching off the lights many times.
