1. I'd love to live somewhere where "sunset" or "sunrise" is an actionable thing :D Over here the sun might rise a bit before noon and it might never actually set.

3. I don't arm our security system, but it does set the home to "away" mode, turning off all lights and the coffee maker and other "dangerous" appliances.

4. I'm stealing this one =)

For air purifiers, you can get Ikea's FÖRNUFTIG purifiers that are 100% stupid devices that just start when the power comes on. I'm running them all the time on low power, but I'm considering automating them on the highest power so that they run when we're not at home or not in the room (the loudest mode is kinda loud, the slowest is practically dead silent).

Sv. “förnuftig” ~= eng. “sensible, reasonable”.

IKEA’s product names are often annoyingly cute (precocious-kid-like), but I suppose sometimes the products actually live up to them.
