Using YAML Node Anchors in Home Assistant - Simple Examples

Simple Example of using YAML Node Anchors in Home Assistant

I've seen the repos with all the fancy Node anchors in the YAML scripts and honestly, I could never really figure out how to use them right. I also couldn't really find a good use case in my Smart Home to use this DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) method. Today, I jumped both those hurdles. I found a great use for the YAML Anchor Nodes and Aliases and actually figured out how to use them!

It's a really simplistic example but perfect for my use case where I don't want to comment what each RGB code translates to. If I need to change the color slightly, I just need to change the one value. All the rest of the aliases will reference that changed value.

All the details and YAML code can be found on my Website with even more Home Automation articles:
