Hi all, I’m wondering is there any current task regarding automation proces. I want to refine this, I have some ideas how to do that:

  • I want to propose the simplified version if user wants to have simple „if A then B” process. In my case, I have a lot of buttons and I find it difficult to link with existing lights. In that case I would also have to figure out how to simplify device section, as list even in my case is getting long and hard to navigate. My goal would be to make it within 2 clicks

  • Complex automation - here I would explore some advanced script methods - I have the graph aproach in mind but I don’t want to limit myself. The goal is to have it automation as complex as possible, but keep it understandable even for complex behaviours.

  • additionally, the issue I notice is that I would like to have automation setup possible more contextual - for example, if I explore temperature widget on dashboard, I should be able to create automation right away by interacting with widget. This is something that might be tricky to do, but I feel for now Home Assistant is very separated and rely to much on users memory even for simple setups.

Is there any thing I should consider before working on that? I want to start by exploring some ideas and figma, later if I manage to get something interesting I want to test it with users - here I would like to have some support from uxes from HA.

Is it fine with you guys?

  • Also: I notice that there is no mark to inform that switch entity is already linked to some behaviour. This would also be a point for my exploration
