Today I joined Allison Sheridan on her podcast Chit Chat Across the Pond. On this epsiode, we discuss our many and varied home automations. Many of which — particularly for me — are utterly bananas. Most especially, my oft-derided-but-darnit-it-works-for-me garage door opener notification system.

I really really enjoy using Shortcuts, but I feel like I’m a complete novice. Discussing Shortcuts — and automations in general — gives me tons of inspiration for myself. Allison provided plenty of those examples.

This episode comes in well under an hour, but it packs a lot into not a lot of time.
