Removed media_player.dinning_room from the target lists across multiple
announcement automations, including Declan and Jordyn's family
announcements, bedtime routines, and the school announcement volume
automation. This speaker no longer participates in household
announcements.
Add new automation files to the Home Assistant configuration:
- 02a_litter_box_alerts.yaml: Notifications for multiple litter boxes
(Poop Box, Triple Threat, Cat Crapper 3000, The Deuce, and Luma
Smart) covering waste bin full, low litter level, door error, and
deodorant empty alerts, leveraging shared notification blueprints
- 06a_kiosk_dashboards.yaml: Automations for managing kiosk dashboards
These automations centralize pet-care and maintenance notifications
so alerts are triggered consistently across devices.
Add switch.turn_off actions to the first floor 9AM automation so the
washing machine socket, family room lamp, studio plug, and porch
decorations outlets are also powered off alongside the lights, with
continue_on_error to ensure remaining actions still run. Comment out
the parents ceiling fan cold-weather automation to temporarily disable
its temperature-based turn-off behavior.
The morning time trigger was replaced by the motion trigger in f076657,
so the outlet stopped turning on at 05:30. Re-add it as a separate
automation alongside the motion-based one.
