Hi everyone
I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on that makes Home Assistant automation creation much easier and more intuitive.
What It Is:
AI Automation Builder is a Home Assistant package that lets you generate automation YAML using natural language. Just describe what you want in plain English, and the AI generates valid YAML code you can copy/paste into your automations.
This is super useful if you’re tired of wrestling with YAML syntax or the UI automation editor for more complex logic.
How It Works:
Once installed (HACS integration or manual), the workflow looks like:
Open the AI Automation Builder panel in HA
Describe your desired automation — e.g.,
“Turn on the living room lights at sunset if motion is detected.”
The AI generates clean, valid automation YAML.
Preview and validate it directly in the panel.
Copy & paste into Settings → Automations.
It also includes features like smart entity suggestions, preview/test modes, and dry-runs before saving.
Why It’s Useful:
No more YAML guesswork — natural language generation.
Speeds up automation creation.
Preview & test without risking your setup.
Works with multiple AI providers (free & paid options).
