Home Assistant
This is my Home Assistant configuration. I try to integrate as much as possibly and keep it as reliable as possible.
However, ZigBee can be quite unreliable during restarts etc. The automations are aimed to help throughout the day, but everythink
should be controllable with physical switches. Exceptions are some LED stripes, which are not required and the motion activated light in the hall,
which is not required as it is bright enough.

Issues
The issue tracker is mainly my to-do list for bigger ideas. I try to document the progress in there.
Everyone above in the credits handles their issues in a similar way.
They help me to combine my different lists where I had stored tasks and ideas.
