About this Gig
  • Stuck at the YAML wall? You know what you want the house to do - you just don't want another weekend in the docs wondering why the trigger never fires.

Send an entity list (or Home Assistant diagnostics export) and describe the goal in plain English. You get commented YAML plus a step-by-step install guide. No remote access, ever. If the request is outside what YAML can do, I'll say so before you pay, not after.


I run a heavily automated home on hardware I actually designed (ESP32-S3, custom ESPHome devices, WLED, presence). Before that I spent years on the vendor/PM side of connected home (Alarm.com emPower) and I still pull low-voltage on real jobs (Bright Wire). So I've seen both the cloud feature deck and the wire nut in the can.


Every config gets a pass for classic failure modes: triggers that fire twice, conditions that block silently, entities renamed out from under scripts, deep-sleep devices that never get updates.


What I need: goal in plain English, relevant entity names, and for ESPHome the board + sensor models.

What I never need: passwords, VPN, or control of your system. Your files, your hands on the keyboard - my job is that it works on the first paste.
