Code comparison
hass-config:
automation:
- alias: "Turn on lights when motion detected"
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_sensor
to: 'on'
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.living_room
core:
class Light(ToggleEntity):
"""Representation of a Light."""
@property
def is_on(self):
"""Return true if light is on."""
return self._state
def turn_on(self, **kwargs):
"""Turn the light on."""
self._state = True
self.schedule_update_ha_state()
The hass-config example shows a user-defined automation in YAML, while the core example demonstrates the underlying Python class structure for a light entity.

As of 2024, this repository is no longer maintained. While I will not be updating this project, pull requests addressing future breaking changes are welcome. I want to thank everyone for their contributions and support on this project. Seeing it rise as the community's top topic of all time has been truly overwhelming.
I am now shifting my focus to a new project called ha-fusion. It aims to be a modern, easy-to-use, and performant custom dashboard built from scratch. I hope you'll check it out!
https://github.com/matt8707/ha-fusion
Home Assistant Container on a Synology DiskStation DS918+ NAS. Wall mounted tablet (Galaxy Tab A 10.1) using Fully Kiosk Browser. My configuration is exposed to HomeKit with Apple TV acting as a hub for remote connection.

How do I install this theme?
There's no install button. I'm sharing my full configuration

Theme
card-mod is used for the styles in include/themes.yaml and each popup also contain styles depending on content.
