It crossed my mind. I use Apple Home and not HomeAssistant so not as easy.

You should try connecting Lobster to your home devices such as lights, sockets, thermostats, motion sensors, etc. and let it observe your daily habits. Most of these devices publish their data via MQTT protocol; so you can set up an MQTT broker (I used Mosquitto) and have Lobster simply listen to that stream and aggregate the information.

I tried this over the Christmas period and the results were impressive. Armando, my LLM helper, quickly picked up on my family’s routines and was able to suggest meaningful adjustments.

Good ideas, I'm in the middle of configuring mine so this helps how you were looking at it. Wasn't ready quite yet to give it access to my cal or outlook. But after reading about how you did it makes me a little more confident in wanting to maybe give it access. We'll see :D

Great article, thank you for sharing! Especially liked the “new hire” mentality, and the agent-to-agent system v. Excessive prompt tuning on access management.
