What's your geekiest @homeassistant Christmas automation?
I have one that turns on the (non-smart) Christmas tree lights when the first motion is detected in the morning. Of course that's not my geekiest one!

You can select all sorts of blinking patterns for those lights, but we just want them to stay on. However, several minutes after they are turned off (I suspect 250 seconds) they revert to the default blinking state and we manually have to select the 'on' state again, which is quite annoying.

So here comes the geeky part: now when these lights have been turned off for 4 minutes (during the night), the automation will switch them on for 1 second and then switch them off again. This way the state is remembered and they will be in the 'on' state when somebody enters the room in the morning.
