I’ve created the page at https://gadgeteer.co.za/homeassistant to follow my journey as a newbie in setting up and configuring Home Assistant to work. I’ve got as far as the basic set up and editing of config files. I’m currently exploring how Groups work (creates changes to the layout view) before I move onto adding more specific devices.
Currently, I have my weather station, Fitbit, Efergy energy monitor, monitoring what phones are at home/away all working.
