Smaller steps. One at a time. Test.

I started off with HA, integrating all my devices i had at once, totally enthusiastic as I was. There were times where I installed several automations and integrations within just a few minutes, not giving them time to work for them selves, especially not in a „productive“ environment with wife, kids, neighbours, etc. all involved in the system.

Lots of automations broke or did not work as expected and I saw my self confronted fixing so many building sites at once.

I am through the roughest part. But should I start from scratch any time I will most surely start I’d small, test, iterate and move on.
