Recipes

Recipes are complete, working automations that solve common Home Assistant tasks. Each one is a self-contained app you can copy, update the entity IDs for your setup, and run. They are not step-by-step tutorials — they are starting points.

Recipes

Motion-Activated Lights — Turn lights on when a motion sensor triggers and off again after a configurable delay.

Daily Notification — Send a push notification to a mobile device at a specific time each day.

Debounce Sensor Changes — Avoid reacting to rapid sensor fluctuations by waiting until a value has been stable for a set period.

React to a Service Call — Intercept a Home Assistant service call and run custom logic in response.

Monitor Sensor Thresholds — Alert when a sensor value crosses a configured limit, with hysteresis to prevent alert storms.

Vacation Mode Toggle — Use a Home Assistant input boolean helper to switch app behavior on and off without redeploying.

Each recipe is a complete, working app. Copy the code, update the entity IDs for your setup, and run it.
