Automation Editor
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>In Home Assistant 0.45 we introduced the first version of our automation editor. If you just created a new configuration with Home Assistant then youre all set! Go to the UI and enjoy.</p>
<p>From the UI choose <strong>Configuration</strong> which is located in the sidebar, then click on <strong>Automation</strong> to go to the automation editor. Press the <strong>+</strong> sign in the lower right corner to get started. This example is based on the manual steps described in the <a href="/getting-started/automation/">Getting started section</a> for a <a href="/components/sensor.random/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">random</code> sensor</a>.</p>
<p>Choose a meaningful name for your automation rules.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/docs/automation-editor/new-automation.png" />
</p>
<p>If the value of the sensor is greater than 10 then the automation rule should apply.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/docs/automation-editor/new-trigger.png" />
</p>
<p>Firing a <a href="/components/persistent_notification/">persistent notification</a> is the result.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/docs/automation-editor/new-action.png" />
</p>
<p>As “Service Data” we want a simple text that is shown as part of the notification.</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"message"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"Sensor value greater than 10"</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</div>
<p>Dont forget to save your new automation rule. In order for your saved automation rule to come into effect you will need to go to the <strong>Configuration</strong> page and click on <strong>Reload Automation</strong>.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="updating-your-configuration-to-use-the-editor" href="#updating-your-configuration-to-use-the-editor"></a> Updating your configuration to use the editor</h2>
<p>First check that you have activated the configuration editor.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Activate the configuration editor</span>
<span class="s">config</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>The automation editor reads and writes to the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">automations.yaml</code> in your <a href="/docs/configuration/">configuration</a> folder. Make sure that you have set up the automation component to read from it:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Configuration.yaml example</span>
<span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include</span> <span class="s">automations.yaml</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>If you still want to use your old automation section, add a label to the old entry:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation old</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">...</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>You can use the <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation:</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation old:</code> sections in the same time:</p>
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">automation old:</code> to keep your manual designed automations</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">automation:</code> to save the automation created by the online editor</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">automation</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include</span> <span class="s">automations.yaml</span>
<span class="s">automation old</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="kt">!include_dir_merge_list</span> <span class="s">automations</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="migrating-your-automations-to-automationsyaml" href="#migrating-your-automations-to-automationsyaml"></a> Migrating your automations to <code class="highlighter-rouge">automations.yaml</code></h2>
<p>If you want to migrate your old automations to use the editor, youll have to copy them to <code class="highlighter-rouge">automations.yaml</code>. Make sure that <code class="highlighter-rouge">automations.yaml</code> remains a list! For each automation that you copy over youll have to add an <code class="highlighter-rouge">id</code>. This can be any string as long as its unique.</p>
<p>For example, the below automation will be triggered when the sun goes from below the horizon to above the horizon. Then, if the temperature is between 17 and 25 degrees, a light will be turned on.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example automations.yaml entry</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">id</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">my_unique_id</span> <span class="c1"># &lt;-- Required for editor to work.</span>
<span class="s">alias</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">Hello world</span>
<span class="s">trigger</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">state</span>

<span class="s">from</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">below_horizon</span>
<span class="s">to</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">above_horizon</span>
<span class="s">condition</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">condition</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">numeric state</span>
<span class="s">entity_id</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">sensor.temperature</span>
<span class="s">above</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">17</span>
<span class="s">below</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">25</span>
<span class="s">value_template</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">{{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">float(state.state)</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">+</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">2</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}}'</span>
<span class="s">action</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">service</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">light.turn_on</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p class="note">
Any comments in the YAML file will be lost when you update an automation via the editor.
