Describe the feature
It would be great to have a simple "Export" or "Download" button within the Automation Editor (likely in the three-dot menu) that allows a user to download a single automation as a .yaml file directly to their computer.
If the file name would optionally contain a time stamp, that would be even greater (e. g. "2026-12-06_13-11h_Kitchen_Light.yaml".
Use cases
Local "Snapshots" Before Editing: When working on a complex automation, I would like to qucikly download the "known working" version to my desktop and archive it. If I mess up the logic or the UI editor glitches, I can easily refer back to or re-import my local copy. It would also be helful to have a history-archive of different versions.
AI Debugging: It would be very helpful to just drag a .yaml file into a chat to ask for optimization, logic debugging, etc. This would keep the chats way cleaner as opposed to copy & paste the code directly into the chat.
Current workarounds
Currently, I manually create a .yaml file, select the code of an automation and paste it into the file.
Anything else?
