You have helped me in several other videos of yours. Thanks... I'm only a few weeks into Home Assistant but I have been doing commercial building automation for over 25 years. I was glad to see the the blueprint feature addition as I have lots of useful automations in my home with commercial programable controllers (energy management for one example) that I want to replicate in HA. What a great way to give to others.

Thank you for the awesome content. Just a quick question, how can I share my blue print after I made it? The share button is grayed out.

great video. seems weird that the trigger and condition section aren't indented under the "blueprint" portion.

3.5 years ago, Blueprinters were added and required YAML files rather than editing directly in Home Assistant. Today, it's the exact same. I wish I had an easier way of creating and testing these myself. Templating your Automations with Blueprints is super important. I have a lot of things that are very similar, and it'd be easy easier to make them all the exact same with a single place to edit them. I'm surprised Scripts have Fields as first-class UI citizens, but Blueprints are so difficult to add in. Lots of room for error and difficult to debug :(.

What if I want to create a custom sensor or helper that the automation relies on? I have an alarm clock that has helpers for different options. Enabled/disabled, alarm time, snooze time, days etc. I want the user just to use blueprint to also create the required helpers if it's possible along with the automation or do I have to create an integration

Learned from another of your videos (thanks) - Visual Studio is only available on 64 bit systems - which leaves out Raspberry Pi if 32bit. File editor works OK there.

Thanks for all you do! I noticed that your automation is set up to enable the heat switch when the temperature falls below 18. Do you need to specify a temperature required to shut the heat back off, or is that implicit (above 18) . In commercial controls, sometimes we use hysteresis to specify a range where there is no heating signal. For example, with a setpoint of 18 and a hysteresis of 2, heating turns off at 18 and enables once the temp drifts back below 16. This prevents short cycling and serves as an energy conservation measure. Is that something you've come across in the home automation space? Would that be hard to set up in YAML? Very new to HA and I'm looking forward to checking out your discord server.

Hey Jim, This isn't really a blueprint specific question per say but yes the built in thermostat in HA has the ability to do this 👍 look forward to seeing you over in the discord server

When you ran the execute, is that kind of like "start" the automation? Do you have to execute it before it's functional in the system?
@EverythingSmartHome

No you don't need to do the excute, all that does is trigger a manual run of the automation so you can test it :) it's the same as when a "trigger" initiates it

Great video, but what do blueprints add that simply copy and pasting an automation wouldnt solve? I get that blueprints are easy to share and import now, but couldnt they have easilly have implemented this by making automations easilly sharable? Maybe I'm totally missing the point, but I don really get the what the big deal is...

Thanks! I guess it's more aimed for beginners and people who aren't comfortable in YAML perhaps such as yourself. Not everyone is comfortable with YAML and I think the more things that Home Assistant can do in the UI to make things more beginner friendly will help to make it become more widely adopted

Help! I can't access any blueprints. I have searched and searched but I can't find an answer. I have the default blueprints in /config/blueprints/automation/homeassistant/ but the blueprints dashboard is empty. I can import a blueprint and it is visible in the blueprint folder but still there is nothing shown on the dashboard page ([ipaddress]:8123/config/blueprint/dashboard) I have no idea how to fix this. Can anybody help?

answering my own question, just in case anyone else is having the same problem. It seems that I had some bad blueprints or they were in the wrong folders - I don't really know, but the following worked. I used file editor to make sure that the following folder /config/blueprints/ only had two folders: automation script I deleted out all blueprints and re-downloaded them, and made sure that the only place that I have blueprints in the automation folder. Blueprints now show up in the blueprints dashboard and I can configure them. Everything is now working.

You can still create normal automations using the UI ☺️
