What is Yaml?
Yaml is one of the human-readable data markup languages. It is commonly used for configuration files and applications. In Home Assistant is it the main way to configure Home Assistant (in addition to Web interface).
Although we personally love YAML files, they can be confusing and frustrating (mainly due to strict formatting and indentation requirements)
