<p>Overview Recently, my wife needed help in sharing weekly content with a group of people. The original way this group was sharing content was a PDF export of a Google Doc. From a User Experience perspective, it wasn’t great. Someone would received this long PDF, they would have to scroll to find the date or topic of the next additional_notes, and overall didn’t look great.

While she had developed the Google Sheets and Google Slide system to make everything a bit more legible and navigable, there was still an element of copy and paste from the Sheet to the Slide....</p>

<p>This week, I’ve had to make some changes to an automation we had setup for a customer in Workato. The original recipe was made by a co-worker with a bunch of javascript nodes. Even though I’m customer facing and generally not considered a technical employee, I knew the engineer who worked on this was swamped, so I decided to jump in.
|

In order to greatly reduce the number of nodes needed in the single recipe, I created a list of dictionaries in python (with one of the values being another list!...</p>

Inspired by this Reddit post that setup a Neovim config using only echasnovski’s mini library, I was reminded that some of my remote server environments were still using Packer as their plugin manager, where my main machine has upgraded to Lazy....</p>

<p>This is a quick treat! We recently learned that one of our children needs to take medicine twice a day for the foreseeable future. He’s too young to take it on his own, so the twice-a-day responsibility is split up between my partner and I. However, sometimes our schedules don’t overlap so succinctly, so we needed some sort of indicator to let the other know if the previous dose was (or wasn’t!...</p>

<p>Checking for Entities If you’re following up on this from my first post, you’ve already added your AppDaemon script and confirmed that the AppDaemon logs don’t show any errors. Now is the true test if it’s working: do you have the new sensors in HomeAssistant?!

The best way to do this is by just type e from any screen in the HomeAssistant UI! That will bring up a list of entities....</p>
