Before you dive into a complicated diy smart home solution, I recommend looking at an off-the-shelf sunrise alarm clock.

Are you still looking for a way to automate these posts? I'd be happy to do it. I was a lurker on r/fire.

There have been several proposals to reduce the frequency of these pinned discussions. Does anyone object if we move to a weekly discussion, starting on Monday?

Done! Right now it's set to post at 8 am Eastern Time (12 pm GMT).

I've been using Maddy for about a year. I haven't had any complaints, although my use case is very basic (running on bare metal, with just a handful of inboxes). DKIM is never pleasant but the Maddy configuration is straightforward enough.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any established tools. There are a number of libraries for various languages, or you can make API calls directly. But if you don't have programming experience, none of those are really an option.

For now, if there's an extremely simple action you want done on a schedule, I'd be happy to add it to the script I'm using for c/fire. Just let me know what you have in mind. In time, I'm sure people will make powerful botting tools that don't require as much technical knowledge, but they're just not here yet.

Absolutely. I wish you all the best with your project. :)

Sure thing!
