My home automation is great, I don't have many issues, but when I do the troubleshooting steps are cursed.

It's not: "did you try turning it off and on again?", but "did you try running away from the device and come back?".

Toot

Context: my hood is set to be only powered on when I'm close to it or it's running (it consumes electricity while idle and I don't like that). There's a special case that turns it off automatically if the stove had been running and is now stopped, so I don't have to turn off the hood manually.

Problem is, if I mistakenly turn off the stove it and turn it back again, the hood will stay off until the condition for it to turn on is triggered again. Don't have to actually run, I just do it because it's fun.

Solution is, make the special case a bit more normal, don't let it turn off if I'm next to it.
