How do you automate clothing too? My whole family always glance at the temperature and weather on the dashboard before we go out.

Do you automate music selection too? My music taste is very different depending on mood, not to mention my kids.

Or cameras?

I also automate lights but it's pretty nice to be able to control them manually too. Or just pause automations during winter/summer.

Granted I don't use a layout like OP but still.

Not everywhere has really unpredictable weather. And I have a garage at home and at work, and the garage leads directly into the building. I go to work without ever considering rain (though I do keep an umbrella in the car for when I have to go shopping, etc.).

our temp is on our thermostat and we use sonos / ha app for that. all my lights have lutron switches so if we want them on/off/dimmed we just use the lights.

i had a dashboard mounted to my wall for years we never touched it including me. only time i would open it was to check if it was still working lol
