The Guest Mode Boolean for Home Assistant
In this video, I share how I use input booleans in my Home Assistant setup to create virtual switches that allow me to use Amazon Alexa voice control to trigger scripts and actions in my Smart Home. One input boolean I use quite often is Guest Mode, which puts the house into a less aggressive automative state when the immediate family is not home but other people are, such as guests or babysitters. Without enabling Guest Mode, lights would start shutting down, the alarm would set, and we would start getting all sorts of movement alerts from the house. To ensure that Guest Mode is enabled before leaving, I added an audio confirmation feature. This video is for anyone looking to improve their Smart Home setup using input booleans and automations in Home Assistant.
