Automating Home Assistant
Home Assistant contains information about all your devices and services. This information is available for the user in the dashboard and it can be used to trigger automations. And that’s fun!
Automations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen. You can turn the lights on at sunset or pause the music when you receive a call.
If you are just starting out, we recommend that you start with blueprint automations. These are ready-made automations by the community that you only need to configure.
