Are you hosting a calendar?

Honestly I would love to, but getting my family off of all of the other corpo cloud stuff is still a work in progress. Also, I only have VPN access configured currently so when they need to access self hosted stuff remotely they have to remember to turn on the VPN and that seems to be hard for them to remember. I have Tasker configured on my phone so it just auto VPNs when I leave my house. I would set that up for them, but they complain whenever I try to help.

How have they been with accepting Home Assistant (assuming you use it for home automation)?

Really the only thing I use it for currently are 2 smart plugs to turn my turtle's lights on/off on a schedule. Replaced some amazon plugs with some ESP32 plugs. I plan on doing more if/when we move into our forever home.
