I am running Home Assistant at home. It kind of works, in a kind of haphazard way as if you had an old-school Lego set with no instructions and you just puttered around building things until you were bored or done.

Is there any organized, methodical, "here is how you do it well" guide to HA? Principles of operation, design guidelines, some reasonably well worked out non-trivial examples, suggestions for what not to do, etc?

I will summarize replies.

@w8emv What an accurate description of Home Assistant! 😆 There really isn't a solid set of "how to do this well" documentation out there - yet. Believe me when I say I know this pain. You can search online for some examples but you often run into them being out of date.

I typically suggest hopping on our forums or into our Discord server to ask for help, but I also boosted your post - maybe others will chime in. 😊

@homeassistant @w8emv I guess that's what I like the most about HA. No idiotic PM who knows better, No marketers optimizing one workflow to please a random coporate partner. Basically no Dunning Kruger syndrome here. HA is giving blocks. Up to me to assemble them the way I like and works for me. There is no right way. Anything that works for you is the right way.

@primalmotion @homeassistant @w8emv this. I love how well it conforms to what I need vs having to confirm to it.
