I’ve just started out in Home Assistant and honestly it’s pretty overwhelming so far…lol… and I work in IT! I’m especially having so many bumps along the road into adding things into my dashboard (via configuring the configuration.yaml file ( e.g. Hue-like light card) and running into all kinds or problems with errors with entities list being incorrectly written and the card does not work for me at all - yet.

Which got me thinking… I know it’s a steep learning curve in the beginning. Where did you all start so that you became experts in this? I wish there was some definitely guide or a much user-friendlier way to do everything.
