The thing is there are tons of "passive" automations that you still might want.

For instance, I left my garage freezer door open, in summer, once. The loss of food almost made me cry (just from the pure waste of it all). I have temp monitors now (external, with probes into fridges and freezers) as well as door sensors. If I am dumb and leave them open, or if they break I'm going to get a notification.

Windows/doors open, and it starts raining, alert... I have a whole set of alerts on when to open the windows too based on season and inside vs outside temp. I have seen a savings on my bills for heating and cooling.

Reminders of all kinds when it's not optimal to run the oven, or appliances because of power costs.
