There is a variable in my Home Assistant that is considered when turning the lights on or off automatically. I call them light hold values. If say the kitchen hold is on, then the motion sensors will not turn the lights on or off.
There is a button in the kitchen to toggle this value, but most don’t have access to the app. So I created a web page that talks to a mysql database, and also updates it if needed. So they just need a simple browser to look at a simple unauthenticated page, to see if the hold is on.
Another tech thing I did today was install Windows 11 on a cheap HP TC630 thin client. Had to do some hardware tricks but it is running windows 11.
