## Hardware integrations
One big todo at this point.
<div class='note' data-title=" / Pro-tip!">
<b>Use the calendar trigger to schedule anything in your home!</b><br>
<br>
Create a calendar and add events to it as a schedule, for example, for your
thermostat or lights, and use an automation to trigger and adjust
these devices based on the plan you have defined in that calendar!<br>
<br>
This way, you can create complex schedules with repeating patterns
and schedule exceptions, with the ease of using your calendar.
