I’ve been putting together a playlist of shorts, beginner‑focused Home Assistant shorts videos — quick tips, simple automations, and small wins that help new users get started without feeling overwhelmed.
I’d love to tap into the community’s experience:
What topics, tips, or “I wish I knew this earlier” moments would you recommend for new Home Assistant users?
Maybe it’s:
- a simple automation beginners should try first
- a feature that’s often overlooked
- a common setup mistake
- something that finally made HA “click” for you
Here’s the playlist so far if you want to see what I’ve covered:

Thanks in advance — your suggestions will help shape the next batch of Shorts and hopefully make onboarding easier for newcomers.
