A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.
Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
I don’t think App-daemon can do automations, that homeassistant alone can’t. I just think it is simpler to manage more complicated automations in App-daemon, since I can script the automations in python.
