I enjoyed the light amount of automation I was able to achieve, since my air conditioner is IR controlled I placed a switchbot (which can shoot out IR blaster signals via the web) on the table next to it and configured Apple Home to prompt me to turn off the AC with one tap whenever I leave home (my apartment has crappy insulation, I’m a renter, I’m not gonna fix it) - with that I never forget to turn it off anymore and Switchbot happily has no permissions to bother me since it’s going through Apple, seems like a good setup.
