Automation list ​

WhereHow to open
AndroidSettings → Devices → Automations → “Open automations”
WebHome → Automations (the “Home” page is open to the owner only)
TVthe same list, without editing: turn on, turn off, run

The list has all of the home's automations: first your own, drawn in Homer, then the others. Zigbee button bindings don't show up here; they live in the Zigbee section.

Automation row ​

WhatHow
Turn on or offthe switch in the row. A disabled automation doesn't fire but stays in the home
Run nowthe “Run now” button in Android, “Run” on the web
Editthe “Edit” button in Android, the automation name on the web
Copythe “Copy” button in Android, ⧉ on the web
Deletethe “Delete” button in Android, ✕ on the web, with confirmation

Under the name is the last trigger: “triggered 5 min ago”, “not triggered yet” or “off”. It's a quick answer to “does the thing I drew work”. Details on how far the last run got are in the automation itself, see trace of the last run.

Deleting is permanent

A deleted automation disappears from the home completely, and there's no undo. If in doubt, turn it off.

Copy ​

A copy opens as a new automation with “(copy)” in its name and its own id. It gets into the home only on “Save”. Handy for making a similar automation for another room.

Export and import ​

Web only, the “Export” and “Import” buttons above the list.

  • Export downloads all your automations as one file homer-сценарии-<date>.json. Inside are the Home Assistant automations as they are, with the drawing inside them. The file can be read without Homer.
  • Import adds automations from the file as copies: each gets a new id. The file doesn't overwrite existing automations. Before saving, the web asks how many automations to add.

It accepts an export file, a list of automations or a single automation. Rules without a Homer drawing are skipped: “skipped foreign: N”.

Moving to another home

Export the automations from one home and import them into another. Devices in automations are referenced by entity_id: if they're named differently in the new home, open the copies and pick the devices again.

Other rules ​

Rules written in Home Assistant by hand or by other tools are visible in the list too, marked “written in Home Assistant” (in Android — the “Not from the app” section). You can turn them on, off and run them. Edit and delete them where they were created: they don't open on the canvas, and Homer doesn't touch them.

If several homes live in one Home Assistant, automations of other homes aren't shown in the list.

Permissions ​

Only the owner can turn automations on, off and run them through the Homer server. On the web the whole “Home” page is open to the owner only.
