5 Home Assistant Built-In Integrations You Probably Should be Using

This week we are going to talk about 5 of my favorite integrations when automating the boring stuff. Not super exciting stuff, but 100% useful.
These 5 gems can make your life easier when writing automations and scripts bu making triggers easier, doing math for you, and even adding some of that all important context that allows your smart home to act...well...smart.
So if you are in the Smart Home game and using Home Assistant, stick around and hopefully there will be at least one on this list that you are not using today.
