Home Assistant Core running on my Kubernetes cluster. This configuration is read and persisted within Home Assistant.
I am slowly moving away from YAML configuration and using the UI for most things now as Home Assistant seems to be moving that way, and making automations on my phone is nice. The downside of using UI configuration however is the YAML thats generated doesn't look great, and things like Lovelace dashboards are not easily stored in git. However I take daily backups of the Home Assistant volume, so this repo is mostly for just sharing code, and I rely on the volume backups for disaster recovery.
The majority of the automations are found in automations directory using native Home Assistant yaml automations. A few more complex automations are done via AppDaemon, those are located in AppDaemon Repo.

Currently using Lovelave Minimalist for all UIs. Dashboards are made to look nice on a mobile phone, as that is the main interface used by family members and myself.
