The sunset automation required TV mode off, so an afternoon of TV skipped the driveway string lights entirely (Sep 22 and 23) - not an outage. The driveway now has its own sunset -1h automation, with catch-up on restart or switch reconnect before 23:00. Evening brightness lives in one script (evening_lights_apply) that blends between the old step levels; a 5-minute ramp from 20:30 eases lights that are on and leaves alone any a person has changed by hand. The Dining Hall no longer bumps to 50% at 21:30. TV off after 23:30 now only turns off the living room glow instead of bringing the whole house back to full brightness, and TV on/off leave the lights alone in daylight. Lights-out moves to 23:30, and a 01:00 sweep catches anything switched back on at the wall. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Deploy Home
There's no place like home!
Just as Dorothy managed the simple task of clicking her heels together, the desire for an equally simple one-button push deployment was in my heart. Thus, this repository was made.
Ansible
Ansible, along with double encrypted secrets, deploys the necessary configurations to make the home fit for certain needs and desires. Namely, having access to my home from anywhere, securely, and a self-hosted CI server that easily ties into existing workflows.
Makefile
The makefile is primarily used as a wrapper script to ensure that necessary
files, such as the secret vault password file, are provisioned as part of this.
One such addition to the task is utilizing dependency pinning through the
utilization of Python's virtualenv to lock down the specific dependency
versions within the requirements.txt file. This, ideally, prevents any
deployment issues with dependency version woes (e.g. version conflicts, major
updates in newest versions, etc.)
| Target Name | Description |

(default) Runs yamllint and ansible-lint on all YAML files in ansible/ |
deploy |
Deploys everything, or only tasks specified in TAGS= environment variable |
check |
Runs deploy in a "dry-run", showing diff-style outputs on tasks indicating changes |
vault |
Opens the Ansible vault file for editing |
