Follow Me App

An app to allow easy coupling of entities

Installation

This app is best installed using HACS, so that you can easily track and download updates.

Alternatively, you can download the follow_me directory from inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory, then add the configuration to enable the follow_me module.

How it works

You can define an instance of the app in your apps.yaml file for every "group" of leader/follower you have. When the leader turns on, the follower will, well... follow! Same goes for off. You can also make the follower assume the inverted state of the leader. Only works with on/off state.
