Everybody ITT talking about dashboards when the real killer feature is global variables within automations.

Yes! Such a small throwaway line for something that really makes automations way better. I had a Choose block based Notify automation which now has a single Notify action at the end with just the variables being declared in the Choose options instead of having the Notify action specified in each option.
