Just had a heck of a eureka moment when it comes to my personal home automation stuff.
Finally had to break down and start running the AC now that we're seeing consistent hot and dry weather with temps in the mid to high 80s. Open windows aren't cutting it.
My bedroom has always had poor air circulation. I usually use a window fan propped up over the floor vent to help.
Just came to the realization that I can easily program an automation in HA to turn on a smart plug connected to said fan when the AC is running and shut off when it quits rather than running the fan constantly. Time to toy with this!

Anyone know if #RGB pixel nodes or LED strips are full-spectrum (ie, suitable for a planted #aquarium)?
I'm pondering using #WLED and some WS2811 strips/nodes I have to make an aquarium light fully controllable from HA.
Alternatively, how important is a full-spectrum light if the aquarium gets a good amount of reflected sunlight (thru windows) during the day?
