Please see the [getting started section](/getting-started/automation/) for in-depth documentation on how to use the automation component.
Starting with 0.28 your automation rules can be controlled with the frontend.

This allows one to reload the automation without restarting Home Assistant itself. If you don't want to see the automation rule in your frontend use `hide_entity: True` to hide it.
```yaml
automation:
- alias: Door alarm
hide_entity: True
trigger:
- platform: state
...
```
