There are plenty of people who want to use Home Assistant but have never had a class on programming. We've got Franck here, one of the Masterminds working on Home Assistant to help us understand some basics of the language used in the Home Assistant Configuration files.
Thanks Franck!

That video had the highest density of answered questions of anything I watched recently! Thanks!

There is so much to digest but the approach of one task per day makes it less scary. Thanks to you and Frank for a great video!

THANK YOU! This was absolutely, by far, the best explanation of how HA uses YAML and the structure of everything!!! All of this now makes complete sense, and I just wish I saw this six months ago. It would have saved me from repairing and painting my walls after constantly bashing my head against them.

Keep coming back to this video everyday. It's pure gold

Great video to start with yaml! I'm migrating from domoticz to homeassistant and this video helps me understand the automations in yaml and help me to design my configurations (splits) before starting.

It's great, big thanks Doc and Frenck. It's really helpful and the fog of yaml files in my head just got cleared a lot. :-) One line I like most is : "Every automation is a item in a list. Inside the item is a dictionary. So it (automaiion.yaml) is a list of dictionaries." Thanks. :-)
