hi!
I've recently redone my little homelab and wanted to try HA-OS over the docker equivalent
as such this (plus the fact I'm moving) gave me the perfect excuse to restart home assistant from the ground up and fix some things I wished I had from the start
such as better organisation by grouping automations, assigning devices to their correct rooms, reworking all my older automations now that I'm much more competent at doing it
so if you were restarting your home assistant, what would be the first thing you add? I've heard some people have a go to automation, some people setup helpers such as a "sleep mode" Boolean to run systems differently in the night
so I just want a list of your favourites so I can add them to my ever growing list of things to add to make my home as smart as it can be
thanks in advance :D
