Actionable notifications are the best Home Assistant trick you're not using, and they changed my smart home
Home Assistant's actionable notifications have turned my phone into an integral part of my smart home.

Home Assistant is a fantastic piece of software that I use to automate my home, thanks to a combination of software integrations and physical Zigbee sensors distributed in my home. Over time, I've automated more and more in my home, with notifications being a crucial part of that. When my day starts, I get a notification with my first call of the day and what the weather will be like. I also have notifications configured through Home Assistant for when some of my crucial self-hosted services go down, but I recently discovered actionable notifications, and they've been incredible.
