Speech-first automations: contextual announcements, stats briefings, guest mode overrides, and alert handling routed through the speech/notify engines.

### Featured files to browse
| File | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| [announcements.yaml](announcements.yaml) | Daily/occasional broadcast messages with quiet hours. |
| [home_stats.yaml](home_stats.yaml) | Voice summary of house status and interesting stats. |
| [guest_mode.yaml](guest_mode.yaml) | Adjust announcements and behaviors while guests are over. |
| [High_Wind_Speed_Check.yaml](High_Wind_Speed_Check.yaml) | Warn about severe wind before it causes issues. |

### Tips
- Pairs with `script/speech_engine.yaml` and `templates/speech/briefing.yaml` for reusable phrasing.
- Keep announcements short; most are triggered off sensor changes or scheduled briefings.
