Don’t use sms. Use the home assistant notify skill. It will notify my phone using the notify.notify skill.

But if I’m going to do 3 pings for the direction of the pings, then I gotta figure out a different solution.

Ohhhhhh fantastic idea!!

A judge issues a warrant when there is an active criminal investigation. If there’s no investigation, no warrant.

Little known feature on Home Assistant is the ability to have any phone who has home assistant installed to be able to use it as a trigger. So you can see things like battery left and gps location. I have an automations that will ping the last location of my family members when the phone hits 2% power so I can see their last location right before the phone dies.

I still remember plugging in my old school serial keyboard to the thing and playing typing of the dead. The two player is pretty awesome.

I miss my Dreamcast. Truly ahead of it’s time.

I use mine as a home assistant dashboard.
