I have successfully migrated from being an Insteon user to a HA user/fan. I’ve tried super hard to avoid bothering the community with annoying newbie questions…my modus operandi has been to just try to solve things myself before bothering folks and so far, so good. Everything is working, all devices have been found and I have several automations working great. But I really don’t understand a ton beyond that. I’ve learned that what I would call Devices, are apparently Entities. I would love to know the actual technical difference between the two. I"m sure it’s in here somewhere but the postings I’ve read have not really helped with a true understanding of them. I know I have to learn a ton about Yaml …I would like to create more complicated automations, but I’m about at the end of my new found knowledge. Is there a great “Start here” document or place to dive in deeper for newbies like myself that I could go back and begin anew? I know the content is in here among all the postings, and I’ve learned some skills by just watching various YouTube videos from users but if there was a single location spot to dive in deeper to learn more, even about the terminology, that would be super helpful. If not I’ll just keep poking around and trying things before bothering anyone. Thanks either way.
In home assistant devices are collections of entities.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
