Home DRAFT WORK IN PROGESS

Welcome to the HomeAssistant_Public wiki! Over time I will document all my automations here in the WIKI and in particular the logic utilised. I started this automation journey in 2020 with the move to a new home and acquiring a Hive thermostat. I played around with the actions feature of Hive to provide some rudimentary automation. Adding some motion sensors and lights from Hive.

From there it has grown to over 50 devices and quite a lot of yaml code.

Early on my configuration was broken down into packages of code related to specific functions. The packages currently are:

Announce - SONOS yaml to manage joining, unjoining multiple SONOS speakers

Backup - Schedules backups of the Home Assistant system

Batteries - Monitors battery state for devices

Car - Integration to my car management system and monitoring whether I have left the door unlocked, again!

Environment - Smoke, Carbon Monoxide and heat sensors

Heating - The original yaml to control my Hive heating and recently the addition of smart TRV to control radiators, this is still experimental

Interactions - At the moment all this does is greet me in the morning with the current weather but hopefully in the future tie in with Alexa

Lights - Controls for all the smart lights in the house

Security - Sets the security system and monitors sensors for intruders

System - Which controls the backup functions for my UPS and the shutdown of services in the event of power outage

Tags - Access to the house and control of the security system using NFC tags, the tag codes have been removed for security reasons

Water - Monitoring of leak sensors and triggering alarms if leaks are detected

Weather - Monitoring of weather station close to the house and warning of high winds

I hope to add further pages explaining the functions contained in each of these and future plans, please check back or subscribe to this repository.
