    You should make an automation that will let your kids leave a message. This would show up as a mail icon on your stream deck that you could press and listen to the messages when you had free time. This would also help if your kids forget what they want to tell you.

      I was thinking a video doorbell. You can get apartment kits for many that allow them to be installed temporarily, then program the button. A press just sends a flag to the streamdeck, a press and hold begins recording.
      If they press the button and it sends the flag, then you know they need attention. Press and hold let's them "share secrets" or tell you something they think you need to know.

    The only flaw in this logic is that it would backfire. If you give them treats for knocking on your door. They will be knocking on your door all day, just so they can play the games and get the treats lol

    I question why he lets his kids pound and bang on the doors
    constantly this way in the first place then let it continue. A simple "stop it" works with my son (5), failing that he gets in trouble because he knows "daddy is working and to let him finish his work so he can play with him later". He then creates automations to "distract" his kids so they stop annoying him instead of correcting their behaviour with entertainment hence continuing the cycle. Just my 2 cents.

    4:56 - Use a mmWave sensor instead of a motion sensor for extra hard mode. LOL! That should buy you a lot of time (mine actually senses me through walls and doors). 😛😋 Can even make that hard mode start after the first level Ninja mode and let out even more M&Ms. If you use Z2M in HA, you might able to increase the range and sensitivity of the mmWave to make it more difficult as it goes up to impossible mode. A cooldown-timer can prevent the game from being played over and over should they make it to impossible mode. Very brilliant set of automations Reed and excellent TH-cam thumbnail.
    6:47 - I do the EXACT same thing. For the alarm/music to turn off on my Echo device I can either get out of bed or take my phone off the charger. This snoozes it, and if I'm still in bed the only way that it'll deactivate the alarm is getting out bed. Bravo, sir.

      Thanks! Usually smart devices that use a lot of bandwidth (cameras uploading to the cloud) are the main culprits. You will probably be fine with that router. Once you start getting way past 100 devices and your router is needing to be re-booted every week, then you will know it's time to upgrade the router.
