Vacation-aware health coaching and Home Assistant signal #1731

Reminder

Figure out the best way to let BearClaw know when Carlo is on vacation so Home Assistant can treat that as a first-class signal.

Why this matters

Health coaching should change when I am away from home. Vacation mode should suppress or adjust the usual coaching logic, then return to the normal behavior when I am back home.

Open questions

  • What is the best source of truth for vacation state in Home Assistant?
  • Should this be a manual helper, a calendar-driven state, a person/device_tracker check, or a combination?
  • How should health coaching behave differently while vacation mode is active?
  • What is the cleanest way to resume normal coaching when I return home?

Desired outcome

  • A reliable vacation / away signal in HA
  • Coaching logic that checks that signal before giving normal guidance
  • A clear path to switch back to home mode without manual cleanup
