I’ve been diving into the world of home automation with Broadlink integration, and it’s been an exciting journey! I’m currently setting up control for my entertainment system, and I’ve stumbled upon a decision point that I’d love to get some insights on from the community.
So, here’s the deal: I can either create individual scripts for each button press through the automated UI or go the YAML file route. The YAML approach seems more efficient, especially since I might end up with over a hundred buttons in the future. However, duplicating scripts through the UI is a bit of a pain, and I’m not sure if there’s a smarter way to handle this.
I’ve read that using a YAML file like ‘broadlink.yaml’ included in the configuration.yaml might be more efficient. It allows me to copy-paste scripts and tweak parameters easily. But I’m curious—has anyone else faced similar decisions? Did you stick with the YAML method, or did you find another approach that worked better? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have!
On a lighter note, it’s amazing how much time I’ve spent tweaking scripts and automations. It’s like solving a puzzle, but with buttons and lights! I can’t wait to see how this all comes together. Thanks in advance for your insights!
