OK I have not watched the video in it entiredy but like the idea someone is finally focusing on the "HOW TO" basics for programing in YAML. There is so much missing in order to allow the hobbyist to jump in and start using this great approach. We need more examples. The motor control was not all inclusive more was the treatlife spst switches. ANd there are more folks see the ability to create YAMLS using the wizard but it needs to go further than just creating the Wifi connection in the yaml file. Now back to my scheduled show.

Thanks for your videos, I understand the syntax, but thats what everybody explains. What I would be interrested in, what is the logic in all this? For example there are template under Sensors, there are template that include a sensor definition. The logic of those keywords really confuses me. It would be nice to have hints, what keypairs are valid below which definitions. This for me is really frustrating

Hey Wilhelm, that is a great point, let me know if you find a HA piece of documentation that explains these in more detail!

@@SmartHomeMakersHi Leonardo, thanks for taking the time to answer. If I would have found any documentation, I would ‘t have posed the question. :-) Cheers Wilhelm

@@wilhelmspeck5870 makes sense! I don’t know too hence was asking if you do find out let me know :)

You mention using " ' " for text is "not cool". Can you explain why? In ui automations, their text entries are wrapped in " ' ".

[@SmartHomeMakers]

It seems a more a formatting point rather than a functional one, the document might give more detail!

I really was surprised that all my services were wrongly stated as well...

In a Hurry?

Sorry for the fast pace videos, is there another creator which does HA content at a more calm pace? Unfortunately for the KZbin algorithm we need to be quite quick pace to keep the viewer engaged.

I thought you ask once for an example what I think it's very good. Look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TYiJ2GpZh_b7M A good pointer. Explained everything!! Almost the right speed. Everything is good but start at 8:12
