Organising automations

Configuration
1

Hi All,

Anyone with any general tips on generating, editing and organising automations. I’ve got loads of em’ and need loads more but the list in the UI is difficult to organise, reorder and manage really. Folder structure possible, what naming conventions? What do others do?

should i get involved in the config file rather than the UI?

thanks

I use files, rather than the UI, but I break up my automations by room/primary role first, then if necessary by other defining features.

For instance, I have a folder for my people related automations, then sub-folders for any ones specific to an individual. I also have folders per room, and inside each of those there may be others for major groupings (like light related automations).

Yea, my automations are growing and am looking for some organization. Can you list some sample of your automation folder structure? Visual aide is good. :smile:
