The weather continues to be wonderful, especially for October in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Often times, we can be overcast and dreary by now. This fall, we've actually had quite a run of clear, dry days.
The sun was downright inviting! I had to take a morning walk through Westminster Pier Park as it's just across busy Columbia and Front Streets from our apartment. I took a closer look at the guys working in the park extension at the west end of the existing park
There was a lot of activity. It will be exciting to return in the spring and see things after they're pretty much completed with new landscaping.
From Westminster Pier Park, I could look back towards our apartment building. The park's trees are getting taller each year! Today I started to learn how my apartment will be getting a dash more intelligence through Google Home.
This afternoon, I noticed that the search bar within the Google Home app was switched on. It will become a way in which complex automations will be created. I set the app manually, to turn on a few lights exactly at sunset if someone is present in the apartment.
Google Home is smart enough to know the sunset time in New Westminster each day. So this practice routine will trigger two minutes earlier each evening during the upcoming week. Today the glorious sun you can see in the photos above will slip below the horizon at 6:38 pm.
