If you had to reduce your entire system down to just ONE automation or control that provides you the absolute most value and/or usefulness, what would it be?

For me, much of my setup centers around basic automations like turning lights on and off at certain times of day and controlling the heat or A/C temps, but my most useful automation is probably the linking of my 4’ LED shop lights in the garage to the position of the door. Open the door, lights go on. Close the door, and lights go off after the same amount of time as the light on the opener itself. The amount of light they throw is significantly more than the weenie little bulbs on the opener and makes it much easier and safer to navigate the garage no matter the time of day.

Just editing to add that there are a lot of cool automations being shared - thanks for chiming in!
