A wizard would help, I think. But what's most important for me is that I don't want to setup home assistant. I want home assistant, I want the end result, but I don't want to have to build it brick by brick. I just don't have the time for that (anymore).

I also think a floorplan where you can click a room and see the lights and everything is much more intuitive than a website.

But also I think many things can just be assumed. Everyone has lights, for example. So why not have this be a native solution in stead of having to set it up manually.

Setting up the Energy dashboard, including all the graphs, data and history etc... took less time and effort than it would take to automate a single light bulb.



My nirvana is to be able to create a dollhouse using the LiDAR Scanner on my phone, and simply tap where device is. No modelling, just let me tap somewhere in a digital twin.
