![Build One Script to Rule Them All in home Assistant
Lets be real.
When you start automating the boring stuff in your home, you find that a lot of the scenarios you want to automate are very similar. In Fact, I would guess that you have a lot of scripts, scenes, and automations that touch the are almost identical except you change the brightness of a light or the media player you use.
If you are not careful you will end up with a Home Assistant configuration that is 15k lines....like mine.
In this video, I will show you how you can tame that web of slightly different automations, scripts, and scenes, and replace them with a single dynamic script that can be reused in all situations.
So if you are looking for a more streamline approach to building your automations, looking for ways to reduce the size of your config, or simply wanting to find ways to make your home smarter, stick around because we are going to build dynamic scripts using Parameters.
Here are the video chapters:
00:00 - Build Dynamic Scripts in Home Assistant - Intro
01:14 - What do you mean, Parameters?
01:55 - Build One Home Assistant Script to Rule Them All
06:54 - Use Parameters to makeHome Assistant Smarter
10:30 - Wrapping it Up
