Organization of the repository

• api/ Couple of HTTP requests for use in Intellij IDEA, so that I have an easy 'check config' and 'restart' button in my editor
• features/ Packages that handle a specific feature of my house, including all setup, automations and UI
• ui/ Generic UI components that do not belong to one of the features (yet)
• www/ Frontend files to be used in Lovelace dashboards
• .gitignore Prevents some files to be included in this repository, like secrets.yaml
• configuration.yaml Main Home Assistant configuration file, ties everything together (trying to put as little as possible in this file, integration setup is usually located in one of the features)
• lovelace_resources.yaml List of custom Lovelace cards installed using HACS (sadly this needs to be manually defined if using a yaml Lovelace dashboard)
• ui-lovelace.yaml Definition of all (YAML-defined) dashboards
  • Only does high-level layouting, just including cards from one of the features/ folders
  • Contains some templates for the button-card component, apparently that can only be defined here
