...if this is the first time you're posting an issue about automations, scenes, scripts, blueprints, or Node-RED.

Automations connect one or more triggers to one or more actions in a "when trigger then do action" fashion with additional optional conditions.

Examples: an automation might connect the trigger sunset to the action turn on the lights but only if the condition someone is home is met, you may use Node-RED for custom automations, or you are using a pre-made automation available via the blueprints feature.

If you are having issues with templates or templating, head to https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1343690969811386549 for more information on how to get help in that forum channel.

See #6 for descriptions of the general tags used in each channel: https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1340064769767374928

Here are the descriptions for this channel's specific tags:

  • Automations - Use this if you are having issues with your automations specifically; include any other tag relevant to your issue.
  • Blueprints - Pre-made automations, often made by the community. If you tried to get help on a creator's post on the forums but were unsuccessful, use this to see if others have ran or are running into similar issues.
  • Conditions - Optional part of an automation that prevents an action from firing if they are not met. Choose this if you are running into issues with conditions you have setup.
  • Node-RED - A tool for pulling together hardware devices, APIs, and online services - often used for automations. Choose this if you are having an issue with Node-RED in Home Assistant.
  • Scenes - These allow users to capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example, you created a scene that specifies Light A should turn on and Light B should be bright red but it's not working.
  • Scripts - Components that allow users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed when triggered. These can be embedded in automations and used in Alexa configurations.
  • Triggers - A set of values that starts the processing of an automation rule, triggered on an event, certain entity state, a specific time, and more. Choose this if your automations are not triggering as you would expect.
