That's pretty nifty. I did look at a cron - but I'm often out of the house and don't want the energy being wasted. I'm curious how you cope in that situation?

I'm curious how you cope in that situation? Just SSH in a temporarily stop it?
- mike-cardwell 8y agoIf I'm going on holiday or away for a few days or whatever, I disable the cron jobs. If we're just talking the odd day here and there where I'm not at home for random reasons or not following my typical schedule, I don't worry about the waste. The amount of electricity involved is so low, we're talking about pennies.
- michaelmior 8y agoOne approach for those who have Nest thermostats would be to use the Away API to turn things off if you haven't been detected all day (or maybe some other heuristic). That was the only device that I thought of off the top of my head with a presence sensor, but there may well be others.
