Breakpoints for automations?

Configuration
1

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to breakpoint automations? I’d especially like it if I could step through the automations, to see what the variables and entity values are at each breakpoint? I’d also want to edit variables or entity value responses as input to the next step. Basically a regular debugging breakpoint.

Thanks,
Ambi

Unfortunately, no.

You could use notifiers in between each service call, to log the things you’re interested in - that’s how I’ve usually tackled this. You can’t interrupt it though.

I’ve been through the same thing. The best thing I came up with is to periodically write things out to a file using the notify.file component.
