Update HA version badge to 2026.1.0

Refactor automation configurations for improved reliability and documentation. Added debounce timing for garage door triggers in multiple automations to reduce false activations. Updated comments and descriptions for clarity and consistency across files.

-This is the main directory of the Repo.  You will find more helpful ReadMe files in the directories as you browse them.  Not all but each day I add more.  I use a configuration type called split configuration.  So my main configuration.yaml file is broken out into many different files located in the directories.  Be sure to visit the package directory where practically self contained YAML files exist that you can easily drop into your configurations to be up and running fast with various automations and components.  You can also subscribe via RSS to every commit I make in this repo by clicking the Feed icon on the bottom of this page. </p>

+Live view of the `config/` directory my production Home Assistant instance loads every night. Use this README as a map when you want to jump directly into the most interesting packages, automations, and supporting assets.
+
+### Quick navigation
+- You are here: `config/` (configuration root)
+- [Repo overview](../README.md) | [Blog](https://www.vcloudinfo.com) | [Issues](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc) | [Diagram](config/www/custom_ui/floorplan/images/branding/Bear-Stone-Docker-Diagram.jpg) | [YouTube](https://youtube.com/vCloudInfo)
+- Directory highlights: [packages](packages), [automation](automation), [script](script), [scene](scene), [templates](templates), [www](www), [custom_components](custom_components)
+
+![Home Assistant header](https://i.imgur.com/vjDH1LJ.png)
+
+### What this folder is (and isn't)
+- Every YAML file here is live and version-controlled; anything missing is intentionally ignored via `.gitignore` (databases, logs, caches, etc.).
+- This is a split-configuration layout: `configuration.yaml` simply includes the files and directories documented here so changes are easy to isolate.
+- Nothing in this folder is a drop-in template—borrow ideas, but adjust entity IDs, helpers, and secrets to match your home before reloading HA.
+
+### How the config is organized
+- **Packages (`packages/`)** – complete subsystems that bundle sensors, switches, automations, scripts, and lovelace assets for a single feature (alarm, garage, water shutoff, etc.).
+- **Automations (`automation/`)** – event-driven YAML broken out by area or device; the legacy `automations.yaml` remains for UI-created flows.
+- **Scripts & scenes (`script/`, `scene/`)** – curated lighting and ambiance logic used by presence, holiday, and seasonal routines.
+- **Templates (`templates/`)** – Jinja helpers and speech templates reused by the notify/speech engines.
+- **www/ + custom components** – branding assets, floorplans, and any custom components the core install depends on.
+
+### Featured automations by section

+
+### Tips for re-use
+- Copy a package folder and adjust entity IDs in one place instead of hunting through automations.
+- Use the scripts and scenes as examples of how to break complicated flows into composable blocks.
+- The `www/` assets are ideal references when building your own Lovelace floorplans or dashboards.

+Event-driven automations that sit outside the self-contained packages. These tie motion, presence, weather, and time-of-day signals together for real rooms and routines.

+### Featured files to browse
+| File | Why it matters |
+| --- | --- |
+| [garage_entry_light.yaml](garage_entry_light.yaml) | Z-Wave door sensor + motion-controlled garage entry lighting. |
+| [dark_rainy_day.yaml](dark_rainy_day.yaml) | Weather-aware lighting helper for gloomy days. |

+
+### Tips
+- Use these as patterns if you are migrating UI-created automations out of `automations.yaml`.
+- Most automations expose helpers (input booleans, scenes) so you can extend them without editing IDs.

+- Pairs with `script/speech_engine.yaml` and `templates/speech/briefing.yaml` for reusable phrasing.
+- Keep announcements short; most are triggered off sensor changes or scheduled briefings.

+Meta automations that keep Home Assistant healthy—watchdogs, diagnostics, and recovery tasks for the stack itself.
+
+### Quick navigation
+- [Repo overview](../../../README.md) | [Config index](../../README.md) | [Automation home](..) | [Packages](../../packages)
+
+![Home Assistant header](https://i.imgur.com/vjDH1LJ.png)
+
+### Featured files to browse
+| File | Why it matters |
+| --- | --- |
+| [detect_and_adjust_lights.yaml](detect_and_adjust_lights.yaml) | Auto-untangles stuck lights and re-syncs states. |
+| [watchdog_light.yaml](watchdog_light.yaml) | Detects flapping entities and nudges them back. |
+| [trigger_dump.yaml](trigger_dump.yaml) | Debug helper that logs trigger payloads for troubleshooting. |
+| [door_chime.yaml](door_chime.yaml) | Friendly tones for door open/close events. |
+
+### Tips
+- Great place to drop temporary diagnostics without touching user-facing automations.
+- When cloning, change `id:` fields to avoid UUID collisions.
+

+| File | Why it matters |
+| --- | --- |
+| [doors.yaml](doors.yaml) | Track all exterior/interior door sensors together. |
+| [media_players.yaml](media_players.yaml) | Bundles TVs and speakers for unified control. |
+| [switches.yaml](switches.yaml) | Convenience groups for bulk on/off automations. |
+
+### Tips
+- Use groups in conditions to reduce repetitive entity lists.
+- Name groups after their purpose (alerts, climate, lights) for clarity.

+
+![Home Assistant header](https://i.imgur.com/vjDH1LJ.png)
+
+### Featured files to browse
+| File | Why it matters |
+| --- | --- |
+| [home_modes.yaml](home_modes.yaml) | Guest, vacation, and quiet-mode toggles. |
+| [trigger_booleans.yaml](trigger_booleans.yaml) | One-off toggles used as automation guards. |
+| [hidden_booleans.yaml](hidden_booleans.yaml) | Back-end toggles tucked away from the UI. |
+
+### Tips
+- Flip booleans in the UI or via scripts to steer automations without edits.
+- Prefix experimental toggles with the feature name to keep them organized.

-I love packages.  This will probably become the most used directory in my repo.  I love the ability to just drop in a package or disable it just as easily.  In fact, there are a few disabled ones right now ready to go when issues are straightened out.  All in one place, packages make defining devices, booleans, automations and customizations a snap.</p>

+Live collection of plug-and-play Home Assistant packages. Each YAML file in this folder bundles sensors, helpers, automations, scripts, and Lovelace assets needed for a specific subsystem so you can drop it into `configuration.yaml` with a single `packages:` include.
+
+### Quick navigation
+- You are here: `config/packages/` (self-contained packages)
+- [Repo overview](../../README.md) | [Config index](../README.md) | [Automations](../automation) | [Scripts](../script) | [Scenes](../scene) | [Templates](../templates) | [Package triggers](triggers) | [YouTube](https://youtube.com/vCloudInfo) | [Blog](https://www.vcloudinfo.com)
+- Disabled/staging packages follow the `.disabled` or `.NOTWORKING` suffix; remove it after you update credentials or hardware.
+
+![Home Assistant header](https://i.imgur.com/vjDH1LJ.png)
+
+### Why packages exist
+- Keep everything for a subsystem (alarm, garage, water shutoff, etc.) in one file, which makes versioning, troubleshooting, and sharing dramatically easier.
+- Encapsulate helpers (input_booleans, sensors, scripts) so enabling/disabling a capability is as simple as moving one file in or out of the `packages/` include.
+- Document hardware dependencies right next to the logic so you remember which gear keeps each automation alive.
+
+### How to adapt a package quickly
+- Enable `packages:` under `homeassistant:` in your `configuration.yaml`, then drop any of these YAML files into the folder with your own entity IDs/secrets.
+- Scan the comments at the top of each package for credential requirements, MQTT topics, or REST endpoints that need to be swapped.
+- Need reusable triggers or button automations? Check the companion [triggers](triggers) subfolder for examples before rolling your own.
+
+### Featured packages (live today)
+| Package | What it unlocks | Notable entities / services |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| [alarm.yaml](alarm.yaml) | NodeMCU-powered perimeter monitoring with arm/disarm helpers and rich notifications. | `binary_sensor.mcu*_gpio*`, `group.family`, notify + siren scripts |
+| [garadget.yaml](garadget.yaml) | MQTT-based control + status for both garage doors, feeding entry/exit lighting routines. | `cover.large_garage_door`, `cover.small_garage_door`, `sensor.garadget_reflection` |

+| [lightning.yaml](lightning.yaml) | Blitzortung lightning counter monitoring with snoozeable push actions. | `sensor.blitzortung_lightning_counter`, `input_boolean.snooze_lightning`, notify engine actions |
+| [logbook_activity_feed.yaml](logbook_activity_feed.yaml) | Dummy `sensor.activity_feed` + helper to write clean Activity entries (Issue #1550). | `sensor.activity_feed`, `script.send_to_logbook` |
+| [mariadb_monitoring.yaml](mariadb_monitoring.yaml) | MariaDB health sensors and Lovelace dashboard snippet for recorder stats. | `sensor.mariadb_status`, `sensor.database_size` |
+| [apt_updates.yaml](apt_updates.yaml) | Weekly APT patch reporting for Docker hosts + Repairs reboot alerts. | `sensor.docker_*_apt_status`, `repairs.create`, `script.send_to_logbook` |
+| [phynplus.yaml](phynplus.yaml) | Phyn shutoff automations with push + Activity feed + Repairs issues for leak events. | `valve.phyn_shutoff_valve`, `binary_sensor.phyn_leak_test_running`, `repairs.create` |
+| [powerwall.yaml](powerwall.yaml) | Track Tesla Powerwall grid status and shed loads automatically when off-grid (alerts include Activity feed + Repairs). | `binary_sensor.powerwall_grid_status`, `sensor.powerwall_*`, `repairs.create` |
+| [vacuum.yaml](vacuum.yaml) | Dreame vacuum orchestration with room tracking, push alerts, Activity feed, Repairs issues on errors, and Alexa one-off room-clean switches. | `input_select.l10s_vacuum_phase`, `sensor.l10s_vacuum_error`, `repairs.create` |
+| [hass_agent_homepc.yaml](hass_agent_homepc.yaml) | Mirrors PC lock/unlock state from HASS.Agent to the office lamp for instant desk presence cues. | `sensor.carlo_homepc_carlo_homepc_sessionstate`, `switch.office_lamp_switch` |
+| [finance.yaml](finance.yaml) | Yahoo Finance sensor bundle for portfolio glances and Lovelace cards. | `sensor.tsla`, `sensor.aapl`, `sensor.amzn`, `sensor.msft` |
+
+### Garadget automations
+- Logic lives in [garadget.yaml](garadget.yaml): auto-open on arrival, entry helper prompt (unlock front door or open garage), auto-unlock for Paige/Justin, wind checks, nightly open-door reminders, and camera pop-ups.
+- MQTT-based covers for large/small doors; notifications and speech wired to the house notify/speech engines.
+![Garadget Automation](../www/custom_ui/floorplan/images/branding/Garadget%20Automation.png)
+
+### Nest climate control
+- Logic lives in [climate.yaml](climate.yaml) and centralizes downstairs/upstairs Nest schedules, grid-aware guardrails, humidity pulses, and presence/weather-based targets.
+- Shared script keeps targets consistent: away → eco, home + >92°F → 78°F, home default → 80°F. Grid-down conditions pause non-essential cool-downs.
+![Nest Climate Control](../www/custom_ui/floorplan/images/branding/Nest_Climate_Control.png)
+
+### Dreame vacuum automations
+- Logic lives in [vacuum.yaml](vacuum.yaml): continuous four-phase loop (sweep main, sweep baths, mop main, mop baths) driven by `input_select.l10s_vacuum_phase` and `input_text.l10s_vacuum_room_queue`, with per-room notifications and automatic reseeding between phases.
+- Uses the Dreame HACS integration with segment IDs to enforce bathrooms last in each sweep/mop pass, dock on arrival, and auto-run if idle for 3+ days.
+- Room queue advances on a 2-minute dwell in `sensor.l10s_vacuum_current_room` (queue = remaining rooms); phase changes happen on `sensor.l10s_vacuum_task_status: completed` and an empty queue.
+- One-off room cleaning for Alexa uses `input_boolean.l10s_vacuum_clean_*` (example: "Kitchen Clean") and runs a segment job without touching or checking the phased queue.

+
+### Tips for extending these packages
+- Most packages expose booleans or helpers that you can hook into with your own automations; keep using those entities instead of editing the package so upgrades stay clean.
+- If you clone a package, rename the `id:` fields inside the automations to avoid duplicate UUIDs.
+- Document your own blog or video resources at the top of each file—the README table above will make it easy to find them later.
