Let's hear your favorite vacation automations!

I am heading out of town in a few weeks, would love to hear folks favorite vacation automations.

As a note, our dogs will be staying at home, isolated to 1 room. Our neighbors will be spending a decent amount of time at our house either stopping by to feed them, or spend some time with them. Planning on buying a Ring Keypad to make our Alarmo more accessible for them.

Anything anyone has setup that they love? Thinking of a script to turn lights on semi randomly throughout the day/evening...

What about playing something on the TV or speakers - something the dogs might enjoy as well.

This. I have 3 buttons mapped to scripts to play BirderKing videos for our cats.

But I should actually automate and schedule them so that I don't have to manually trigger them
