A home-assistant addon for a better UI for managing and writing your automations. We provide a way to visualize your automation using a visual-programming language that draws inspirations from Node-Red.
-
Sort and organize your home-assistant automations using tags!
-
Utilize the auto-generated node descriptions to understand what your automation is doing! No more reading YAML to just understand what 1 node does!
-
More condense UI for service calls!
-
Visualize complex 'choose' or 'if/else' nodes
-
Visualize parallel nodes!
-
Visualize repeat nodes!
See roadmap in Version 1 Github Project.
Add the repository URL under Supervisor → Add-on store → ⋮ → Manage add-on repositories:
https://github.com/asosnovsky/Shortumation
It should now appear in your Add-on Store and you should be able to install it!
Please note that you may need to enable advance mode in your settings first!
If this warning does not scare you or you still want to try things out, then take a look at the example docker-compose.yaml, or read the extended guide here.
In general, if you want to help provide this to more home-assistant fans please join on the conversation here #102 or help contribute :)
How can I buy you a coffee?
How is this different from Node-Red?
Node-Red is both an execution engine and an automation editor, which means that in order for your automations to run you have to have an additional component running and executing the automations. Shortumation simply provides a different editor and manager for writing Homeassistant automations, while relying on Homeassistant to execute the automations (this uses the
automations.yamlfile as the backend database)
Which HA Installation does this support?
Currently this is only tested on HA OS. However, you should be able to get it working supervised installations as well (as they support addons). If you want to make it work for Container or Core, you will need to do some additional leg-work and I welcome a PR to get this working (it should be just a matter of mounting the
/configpath to the container running the images in this repo).
Which version of HA does this require?
Since I am working on this project on my own, I can only test it against my own HA installations at home, and I tend to keep things as up to date as possible. The lowest version of HA this was tested on is
core-2022.5.4
This is awesome and all, how can I help?
Take a look at our Roadmap in Version 1 Github Project, the Development Guide and send me some PRs to review!
Please also note that I did went ahead and marked some good first issues if you want to pick them up just leave a comment and I will give you more context (I haven't had time to add more details).
HACS Support? I don't like docker.
Currently this is beyond v1, but if this is something you really want please +1 this issue #102 or perhaps help us get there yourself by contributing! :)
