How My House Prepares for My Return from Vacation

My house starts heating before I even tell it I’m coming home.

100 km out, a proximity sensor reads my phone’s GPS — the heating leaves vacation mode and slowly ramps the house back to normal. 5 km out, the boiler goes to full temp. By the time I unlock the door, the alarm has disarmed itself.

No app opened. No buttons pressed. Just Home Assistant noticing.

In the Short I walk through the full setup.
