Just thought I’d ask if anybody else has put together a process or automation that has been a disaster.
In my case I’ve upgraded every power point and light to be smart. Which I then added into home assistant. I exposed all my smart devices to HomeKit bridge so I could use Siri to do voice control. Works amazingly well! Except adding in all my devices was my mistake. On this particular day, my kids were being naughty and wouldn’t turn off the tv when asked. My wife blew her stack and yelled at sirri, ‘hey Sirri, turn it all off’. Thus Sirri turned off every single switch and light in our house. Including but not limited to the Shelly 1PM on the broadband router power point, the fridge, the freezer, all the lights, servers, wifi … everything. The entire house went silent and dark with my wife looking at me confused. Absolute pain to have to manually restart everything…
