Has anyone else feel like you have outgrown the UI for #HomeAssistant Automations? Have you considered switching to something else? I know there’s Node Red, but it’s still quite UI-focused. Have you had any luck with an alternative?

I’ve been rediscovering raw YAML recently, especially with the kind support of ChatGPT. It does quite a good job of spitting out nice automations if you prompt it right.
I have done a few experiments with yaml config using ChatGPT. I have been looking at AppDaemon hoping I can think of all the automations as one big program that runs my house and not a bunch of small events.
Started with Home Assistant in the YAML days and moved over to the UI once I felt like it fit my needs. By that time I had all my extensive automations dialed in, so for the automations I do add nowadays, the UI is perfect, especially on mobile. When it gets complicated, I’ll switch back to YAML.
