I am entirely new to Home Automation and I don’t find a single place to start. I have done the below things, but don’t know how to proceed and what to do next. I am trying to set few things in the configuration.yaml, but I don’t know why I am doing it. I don’t know why I should use a binary_sensor or device_tracker or anything. Is there any tutorial that explains the config yaml? I have also copy pasted my yaml file for reference
- Tasmotised few switches
- Tasmotised few plugs
