🏠 Smart Home Automation Toolkit

Complete Home Assistant automation suite with Xbox energy management, VM→Container migration guides, and production-ready infrastructure automation.

🌟 Why This Repository?

This repository contains real-world, battle-tested home automation solutions that save energy, reduce costs, and provide enterprise-grade infrastructure setup. Everything here has been used in production environments.

🎮 Featured: Xbox Energy Management

Save $50+ annually with intelligent Xbox automation that only shuts down your console when it's actually idle - not during active use or downloads.

Key Features:

• ⚡ Smart Idle Detection - Only shutdown when truly inactive for 1+ hours
• 📱 Mobile Notifications - Know when energy savings activate
• 🔄 Weekend Flexibility - Different rules for weekends (2+ hour idle time)
• 💰 Cost Tracking - Monitor your actual energy savings

# Example: Xbox auto-shutdown at 10 PM if idle for 1+ hours
automation:
  - id: 'xbox_auto_shutdown_smart'
    alias: 'Xbox Smart Auto Shutdown'
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: '22:00:00'
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {% set idle_time = (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.media_player.xbox_one.attributes['last_activity'])) / 3600 %}
          {{ idle_time >= 1.0 }}
    action:
      - service: media_player.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.xbox_one

🚀 VM → Container Migration

Zero-downtime migration from Home Assistant VM to containers using Podman or Docker.

Migration Tools:

• 🔧 Hardware Audit - Identify USB devices, network requirements
• 📦 Container Deployment - Automated Podman/Docker setup
• 🌐 Proxy Configuration - nginx reverse proxy with SSL
• 🔒 Security Setup - Firewall automation and SSL certificates

🛠️ Production Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade infrastructure automation for home labs and small businesses.

Infrastructure Tools:

• 🌐 nginx Reverse Proxy - Multi-service routing with SSL
• ☁️ Cloudflare Integration - DNS automation and DDoS protection
• 🔥 Firewall Automation - Secure port management
• 📊 Monitoring Setup - Health checks and alerting
