A big advantage of home automation / #homeassistant is that you can remotely mess up and accidentally defrost your fridge because somehow the smart plug it is connected to is turned off while applying a software update. Bonus points for doing so while away for multiple weeks. Ask me how I know.
I’ll have to write an automation that sends me a notification when the plug is turned off, for a sanity check, I guess.
Also, I should stop applying updates while away from home.
