    I took a while researching, but once I got hass.io going, it was a matter of fitting in modules. You can check it out, it's the URL: hass.io

    I already have RFID access for this building, so that was a nice requisite.

    So when I'm 50 meters away, temperatures start adjusting and my lights as I like them, turn on. When my RFID card goes into the elevator, it tells the Wifi to unlock my door.

    For the RFID door access, I ended up using proximity detection with my iPhone in combo with an RFID keycard.

    I changed all the blinds and curtains to IR-compatible remotes, and did a backwards compatibility thing with an automated IR receiver/sender to make sure the commands work.

    But since I'm well invested in the Apple ecosystem, it's Siri who controls my place. She's not brilliant, but she's smart enough.

    I programmed my own server based off a hass.io instance, so I can use anything -- Alexa, Siri, Google, and whatever else they come up with in the future.

    Technically, she (the Orca) flipped that one shark over until it drowned, ate only its liver and left its corpse for the other sharks... and then 100 sharks noped right out of there.))

    Okay, I couldn't find the actual reference to the articles I read, but there's this page here that also talked about it: Great White Sharks Are Scared of Killer Whales - Fact Fiend

    Some research papers... during a particularly busy 'sharks season' one great white was attacked by a pod of killer whales. Then all of them scattered, preventing researchers from studying the sharks that year. One of those sharks, was said to have been so scared it swam half way across the world...

    I'd heard about reintroducing Orca, Killer Whales as a way to ward off the sharks.

    Has the amount of sharks around changed surfing culture?

    Thank you for that very vivid history of surfing tradition.

    Was that a rhetorical question? Never mind, don't answer.
