My spouse finally had her HA aha moment today. She usually just rolls her eyes when I talk about the cool stuff HA can do. However, the other day, she was complaining that our kids never fully close the front and back doors. I got some cheap Aqara contact sensors and created an integration to send a voice message through our Alexa devices to announce that the door is open (after 30 seconds of being open). She loved it and said "ok, that is pretty cool."

What were rhe "aha" moments that finally won over your family?
