TL;DR:
- Allow selection/autocomplete of binary sensors, etc, in the trigger text box (like it already exists in many other places in Lovelace)
- Add a Back button to go back to first step to allow experimentation with syntax and phrasing to enable learning.
I’ve tried numerous times to get the ‘magic’ automation creator to work, but it just seems dumb, and not worth the effort of many failed attempts.
On the first page I type what I want it to do (e.g. “Turn on the hallway light when the front door is opened”), but on the second page I usually find that it provides two blanks text boxes (so what was the point in being specific on the first page), and doesn’t have the device I want in the list (because say it’s a switch not a light? and it doesn’t look at ‘hallway light’ and figure it out itself), and I’m left to enter the trigger myself with no hints or lists to look up. And a ‘Create Automation’ button that had remained grey to this day. Leaving me to click SKIP and abort the whole process.
