How I added my iCloud calendar to Home Assistant via CalDAV (~/tobiesen)

This worked for me.

I started playing The Plucky Squire yesterday. I got interested in it from the Fully Ramblomatic review of it but never looked into whether I could play it on the Switch or not. Fast-forward to last Friday when I dropped Iris and a friend of at the movie theater. I went into the library to have a quick browse of their Switch games and found this on the shelf.

On Sunday I got an hour to myself, waiting while Iris had her dance class, so I brought the Switch and gave this game a go. So far I really like it. I just managed to get back into the book before I needed to put the game away. Maybe I should get some playing in tonight, instead of sitting here, staring at my computer screen…

Yesterday I managed to get both of the kids outside to play in the snow, which I’m very happy about today. During the afternoon the temperature crept above 0° C, so the snow is melting now.

On my way to work.

It worked!

When I connect my phone to the charger, if it’s after 22:30 and I am at home, all lights turns off. This post on the Home Assistant forum was really helpful.

Now I’ll need to add Home Assistant to Linn’s phone as well and at her to the mix.

Every now and then I try to set something up in Home Assistant but every time I do it feels so clunky. Still, I want to wrap my head around it and get it working because I really like the idea of it.

If I’ve managed to get things working the way I want, when I connect my phone to the charger tonight, all my lights will turn off. Fingers crossed!

More snow today. Here’s the view out of the kitchen window.

The first snow fell early yesterday morning. Here’s a photo of the patio late last night as it was starting to pile up. We’ve officially entered winter.

A quick slice-of-life photo, cooking dinner while catching up on some YouTube videos.

Yesterday Linn and I decided to take a spontaneous sauna visit. It was a fairly quick visit to be able to also do all the chores necessary of a Sunday but it was totally worth it. Very relaxing and a *fabulous* night sky outside.
