My Home Assistant configuration

Currently running a Home Assistant Container install on an OptiPlex 7050 USFF.

The conf directory (which is in the same directory as my configuration) contains all of my automations, scripts, etc. conf_settings contains things like recorder, history, http and so on. conf_packages contains, well, packages.

I currently have the following devices connected to Home Assistant:

• Various Zigbee devices (zigbee2mqtt)
• Ecobee thermostat (local control via Homekit Controller)
• Google Home speakers
• APC UPSes
• Various Tasmota devices
• Google TV
• Roku TV

Some of my favorite automations include:

• Adjusting my Google Home speakers' volume depending on which app is casting to them (since streaming radio is noticeably quieter than casting music from Google Play Music or Spotify)
• Enabling sleep mode (lights and media players off, security system armed, play white noise) when my wife or I press the buttons on our nightstands
• Turning the lights and media players off and setting the thermostat to away when the security system is armed away
• Resuming the thermostat schedule when the security system is disarmed from away mode at night (and turning on certain lights if it's at night)
• Turning the lights off when the living room TV is turned on at night (and back on when the TV is turned off)

As you can see, I have split out my configuration pretty substantially (I like keeping it clean). As you can also see, I strongly prefer this style of creating lists:

foo:
- bar
- bar

rather than this style:

foo:
  - bar
  - bar

The hyphen counts as an indent, so I find it redundant to use the second method. Others may disagree. Oh well, can't please everyone.
