Fixes #1159 Switched everything to Buttoms but actually - didn't have any in production. Refactor TPLink configurations by removing the deprecated tplink.yaml file and updating related components to use buttons instead of switches in logger and mqtt screens. Adjusted basketball shell script to reflect the same change.

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 | Blog | Issues | Diagram | YouTube
- Directory highlights: packages, automation, script, scene, templates, www, custom_components
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.yamlsimply 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 legacyautomations.yamlremains 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.

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.
