You can write custom automations between all your smart devices. So I can connect Home Assistant to my phone, a Google Home mini, and Google Translate TTS, so whenever I plug in my phone to charge at night while I’m at home, the speaker tells me “Remember to brush your teeth” in an Italian accent. Or whatever specific weird thing you want. It puts a lot more control in your hands.
I honestly thought the Pokemon part was fake. It is not.
