Pretty much, if you can think of it, you can do it with HS.
Seriously, unless you are VERY strange, if you can think of it, you can do it with HS!
I use Alexa to "Control" most of the things in my home. I use Homeseer Zwave switches and dimmers to set "scenes" or turn off a room (or the whole house) when I leave it.
HS automates our morning routine by turning on lights before we wake, changing the temp, showing us calendar entries and weather on our marquee (BLLED) and then shutting everything off after we leave.
HS automates our turtle's habitat based on time and temp. HS reminds us to check the water for our Christmas tree and sends an email if we go too far beyond the checkpoint. HS reminds us to change the little wax thingies in our potpourri warmer dealie after the wax has been heated for its maximum life. HS adds paper towels to the Sam's/grocery list when the 3rd to last roll is removed from the storage cabinet. HS alerts us and snaps a pic of the liquor cabinet when it is opened and neither is home. Same for the beer frig. HS changes the color of our (LIFX) porch lights based on calendar entries. HS changes trick-or-treater's front door experience based on their button choice down by the sidewalk. Etc Etc Etc. AND it can do it with nearly every HA protocol out there. I started with X10 in the 80's and only switched exclusively to ZWave about 8 months ago when we moved to a new home.
Home Automation is what you make it, and HS helps you make it what you want easier than anything else out there.
