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

Home Assistant header

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.
Section Why start here Featured automation(s)
Packages Self-contained subsystems that highlight patterns like combined alerts + actions. packages/alarm.yaml, packages/garadget.yaml, packages/powerwall.yaml
Automations Real-world triggers that tie Zwave, MQTT, and REST sensors into the rest of the house. automation/garage_entry_light.yaml, automation/dark_rainy_day.yaml, automation/dash_buttons.yaml
Scripts Reusable building blocks for lighting, notifications, and safety responses. script/monthly_color_scene.yaml, script/notify_engine.yaml, script/speech_engine.yaml
Scenes Seasonal and ambiance presets that the scripts and automations call into. scene/monthly_colors.yaml, scene/living_room.yaml
Templates & Speech Human-friendly voice briefings and templated responses. templates/speech/briefing.yaml
Dashboards & Media UI chrome, floorplans, sound bites, and automation assets. www/custom_ui/floorplan/images/branding/Bear-Stone-Docker-Diagram.jpg, media/
Seasonal Audio Cuckoo clock with Halloween and Christmas sound packs. automation/System/CucKoo_Clock.yaml

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.

All of my configuration files are tested against the most stable version of home-assistant.
