In Home Assistant 0.45 we have introduced the first version of our automation editor. The editor is still in a very early stage and rough around the edges. For now we are only supporting Chrome but better browser support is planned for the future.
|
|
|
|
If you just created a new config with Home Assistant then you're all set! Go to the UI and enjoy.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Updating your config to use the editor %}
|
|
|
|
The automation editor reads and writes to the file `automations.yaml` in your configuration folder. Make sure that you have set up the automation component to read from it:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Configuration.yaml example
|
|
automation: !include automations.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you still want to use your old automation section, add a label to the old entry:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation old:
|
|
- trigger:
|
|
platform: …
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Migrating your automations to automations.yaml %}
|
|
|
|
If you want to migrate your old automations to use the editor, you'll have to copy them to `automations.yaml`. Make sure that `automations.yaml` remains a list! For each automation that you copy over you'll have to add an id. This can be any string as long as it's unique.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example automations.yaml entry
|
|
- id: my_unique_id # <-- Required for editor to work.
|
|
alias: Hello world
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- entity_id: sun.sun
|
|
from: below_horizon
|
|
platform: state
|
|
to: above_horizon
|
|
condition:
|
|
- above: 17
|
|
below: 25
|
|
condition: numeric_state
|
|
entity_id: sensor.temperature
|
|
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ float(state.state) + 2 }}{% endraw %}'
|
|
action:
|
|
- service: light.turn_on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
Any comments in the YAML file will be lost when you update an automation via the editor.
