home automation using python - barryjo - Jul-24-2022

I would like to be able to control my home automation switches, lights, and etc using python. Essentially, I want to do what Alexa and Google home does. Is/are there python libraries to do this?

I would like to write a python program that would, for example, turn on and off a light at 5 minute intervals.
Sure, I can probably do this using Alexa but what if I wanted a more complicated pattern. Say, turn on for 5 minutes. turn off for 10 minutes, repeat 5 times then do something else.
