A couple of years ago I lived in a house with a few friends that we rented from one of their parents. They had a somewhat extensive homeassistant setup. We set up a couple of fun automations.

-Enter 8675309 on a keypad by the door - Play the song at full volume

-Enter 911 - Play police sirens at gradually increasing volume

-Enter 420 - Play that one sample of Snoop Dogg saying "smoke weed every day."

-Leave the fridge or freezer door open for more than five minutes, start playing Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al at full volume and set all of the lights to red.
