Automation blueprints are pre-made automations that you can easily add to your Home Assistant instance. Each blueprint can be added as many times as you want.

## Blueprint Automations
|
|
|
|
Automations based on a blueprint only need to be configured to be used. What needs to be configured differs on each blueprint.
|
|
|
|
To create your first automation based on a blueprint, go to **Configuration** and then **Blueprints**. Find the blueprint that you want to use and click on "Create Automation".
|
|
|
|
This will open the automation editor with the blueprint selected. Give it a name and configure the blueprint and click on the blue button "Save Automation" in the bottom right.
|
|
|
|
Done! If you want to revisit the configuration values, you can find it by going to **Configuration** and then **Automations**.
|
|
|
|
## Importing blueprints
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant can import blueprints from the Home Assistant forums, GitHub and GitHub gists.
|
|
|
|
To do this, first [find a blueprint you want to import][blueprint-forums]. If you just want to practice importing, you can use this URL:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/automation/blueprints/motion_light.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go to **Configuration** and then **Blueprints**. Click on the blue "Import Blueprint" button in the bottom right.
|
|
|
|
A new dialog will pop-up asking you for the URL. Enter the URL and click on "preview blueprint".
|
|
|
|
This will load the blueprint and show a preview in the import dialog. You can change the name and finish the import.
|
|
|
|
The blueprint can now be used for creating automations.
|
|
|
|
## Finding new blueprints
|
|
|
|
The Home Assistant Community forums have a specific tag for blueprints. This tag is used to collect all blueprints.
