-# Garage Garbage Day Reminders
-# Description: After either garage door opens on garbage day, play staggered reminders in the garage to take cans out.
-#
-# Schedule: 30s, 90s, and 180s after the door opens (skips if it isn't garbage day or the doors close).
-# Output: Uses Alexa announce in the garage so it plays locally (speech_engine is limited to Chromecasts inside).

+# Garage Garbage Day Reminders - staggered reminders after door opens
+#  On garbage days, announce at 30s/90s/180s if the garage stays open.
+# -------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Notes: Uses Alexa announce in the garage for local playback; also sends
+#  one inside reminder via `script.speech_engine` (Chromecasts).
+# Notes: Debounced garage door open trigger to avoid restarts if the
+#  garage door state flaps (noisy sensors/reflection).
