Please see the [docs section](/docs/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.

<img src='{{site_root}}/images/screenshots/automation-switches.png' />
</p>
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.
You can also use `initial_state: 'off'` so that the automation
is not automatically turned on after a Home Assistant reboot.
```yaml
automation:
- alias: Door alarm
hide_entity: true
initial_state: 'off'
trigger:
- platform: state
...
```
