Automation Debugging - new feature!

Just saw this new feature about automation debugging and think this is really awesome tool and particularly useful for folks who are DIY enthusiasts and may occasionally struggle with YAML syntax!!

Thanks to Smart Home Makers for putting this video together!

If the automation creation wizzard would be as easy to understand but this debugger I would have more but 0 automations done by the wizzards against 10 which are a result of copy’n’paste from this community with manual modifications.

I never understood what the creation wizzard asked me in the differnt steps, nor did I get the sense from reading some documents.

Being able to cluster an existing automation into the seperate steps if much more intuitive, and I think using this debugger for some minutes now helped me more but some hours I spend the past weeks.

A big “thank you” to the ones who invented this. As essential as inventing the wheel :slight_smile:

Am I missing something… When I run an automation and it stops at a condition which I didn’t like and so I correct the automation and reload it … the debugger still runs the original version.
