From 741d3f2084d0a785daf6f986c4ffbcfd5ac88719 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dubh Ad Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2019 10:45:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update glossary.yml (#10629) It came up [in this thread](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/is-there-any-basic-tutorial-on-hassio/140714/5) that the docs don't explain things like what a binary sensor is in an easy to find way. I've pulled a bunch of common platforms into this, not all, and am open to suggestions as to what others I could/should add. --- source/_data/glossary.yml | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/source/_data/glossary.yml b/source/_data/glossary.yml index 25957403526..2ba4458766f 100644 --- a/source/_data/glossary.yml +++ b/source/_data/glossary.yml @@ -2,16 +2,22 @@ description: "[Actions](/docs/automation/action/) are events that fires once all triggers and conditions have been met." - topic: Automation description: "[Automations](/docs/automation/) offer the capability to call a service based on a simple or complex trigger.
