These are the Home Assistant configuration files used in my Home Assistant (HA) setup. I relied on repositories of other HA users quite a bit when I was getting started for ideas and example code. Hopefully this repository will help someone else who is getting started.
Automations:
A detailed description of each of my automations and a link to the yaml file is located HERE
This is the most important part of Home Assistant! Remote control and voice commands are nice, however, that is not home automation, just remote control. Automations should make your life easier, look at what you do every day, the simplest things, and automate them. To me Home Automation is collecting data about your home and automatically acting based on that data.
My Home Assistant Setup:
I run my home assistant instance on a HP ProDesk 600 G1 Desktop Mini PC with i5 4590T low power processor. The base operating system is HomeAssistant Operating System and it runs the Intel-Nuc image of Hass.io . It also runs the following add-ons.
- Adguard Home
- Backup to Google Drive
- Mosquitto MQTT broker
- Network UPS Tools
- RPC Shutdown
- SSH
- Samba
- Unifi Controller
- VScode
I'm currently running Home Assistant version 0.105.5 on this instance.
UI Based Integrations:
The following integrations are setup in the User Interface (UI) and may be a missing peice as to the full configuration of my HA setup.
