This video was a beast! I worked on it for months, so I really hope it helps. Check out Home Assistant Green here: https://amzn.to/3XUuMNA

I can’t seem to find the advanced homeassistant video you mentioned a couple of times
Does the USB stick work even if it’s in the basement and the object on the second floor ?
appreciate the honesty about the common mistakes. wish I had this when I started
Just brought my home assistant with my new home literally last week. Wish me luck in getting it set up in the next week or 2.
