Code ⌨

Let me be clear from the start; I'm not a great coder in any way! I don't feel the excitement from putting some code together, but i have the higest respect and admiration for people who finds joy in it and are good at it. You make my life easier ❤️

So you might experience my code is 'ugly' and you are probably right, i find joy in making things work as i want it to. In coding there is frontend and backend coders, i'm the userfriendliness and comfort guy 😛

Actual issues.

Description 📜

Configuration for Home Assistant running Hass.io on a INTEL® NUC KIT NUC8I3BEK for a two bedroom apartment (66 m2).

I use packages "configuration" introduced by Frenck.

That means my configuration.yaml points to the folder integrations, and the files in my integrations folder is pointing to the entities etc. folder where every entity has it's own file sorted by type.

Watch this video to learn more: How I structure my Home Assistant configuration - By Frenck or take a deeper look at my configuration.
