[Project Release] C.A.F.E. – A "Third Way" for automations. Visual flows like Node-RED, but 100% native YAML/Storage. No extra engines

Does this support creating scripts and not just automations?

Not yet, but it’s on my todo list

Frederico,
I’m observing the progress of the wonderful tool and have now installed V0.5.0.
But I still do not see the entity names which are provided by other add-ons. In my case it is OPENCCU. I have attached a picture from the automation editior which shows the entity names correctly ilo. the same automation in C.A.F.E. which just shows an UUID. Of course this prohibits editing/expanding the automation as one can’t say which entitiy is behind the UUID.
The automation yaml code contains only the UUID , so I assume there is some kind of retrival function which resolves the UUID with a name.
Are there plans to address this?
Many thanks for your great work.
Rainer
