Event-driven automations that sit outside the self-contained packages. These tie motion, presence, weather, and time-of-day signals together for real rooms and routines.

Camera-verified garbage and recycling reminders:

File	Why it matters
	Z-Wave door sensor + motion-controlled garage entry lighting from the garage automation walkthrough.
	Frigate driveway-zone alert that notifies both parents with a camera preview, sends its household announcement through the LLM speech engine, and starts a full-screen Driveway takeover on both kiosks after the zone's 30-second loitering threshold. Guest mode snoozes all three actions without changing manual notification settings; after it ends, only a new occupancy detection alerts. The camera clears with occupancy or after ten minutes.
	Private per-person notifications for Adriano Gym and DeSantis Home, with stable tags that replace the previous push and codes loaded from secrets.yaml.
	Sink light tunes its white temperature while on and starts automatically only for a 07:00-20:00 morning, confirmed bed-exit, or low-light event. Timer, sun, restart, and bed-entry updates respect an off light; TV, office work, guest mode, and bedtime gates remain. Kitchen Show illuminance avoids starts in an already-bright room.
	Weather-aware lighting with an occupied/dim first-floor check and on-demand exterior camera corroboration before rain-driven lights or speech. Dry, uncertain, stale, watering, or failed checks skip the rain action; lightning lighting and safety alerts remain independent.
	Amazon Dash buttons repurposed as quick triggers.
	Whole-house shutdown and lock-up routine.
	Scoped 20:00-06:00 brightness cap for direct user-activated living-room and outdoor front-light groups; nested scene and automation contexts are excluded.
	Nighttime arrival path with the living-room M1 front-right light explicitly limited to 25% brightness.

Bathroom night lighting requires an explicit in-bed to out-of-bed transition; recovery from an unavailable bed sensor does not switch on the accent outlet. Sunset and arrival behavior remain unchanged.

Tips

• Use these as patterns if you are migrating UI-created automations out of automations.yaml.
• Most automations expose helpers (input booleans, scenes) so you can extend them without editing IDs.

All of my configuration files are tested against the most stable version of home-assistant.
