+== Combine declarative and UI defined automations ==
+You can also declaratively define your automations while still being able to define them in Home Assistant UI. Automations defined in UI are stored in <code>/var/lib/hass/automations.yaml</code>. If you are not planning on using UI defined automations, then you can define them under  <code>services.home-assistant.config.automation</code>, otherwise split them into <code>services.home-assistant.config."automation manual"</code> and <code>services.home-assistant.config."automation ui"</code>, like so:
+<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>
+  services.home-assistant.config =
+  {
+    "automation manual" = [
+      {
+        alias = "living room plug off";
+        trigger = {
+          platform = "time";
+          at = "22:00";
+        };
+        action = {
+          type = "turn_off";
+          device_id = "someID"; #Inspect yaml of automation created in UI
+          entity_id = "switch.living_room_plug";
+          domain = "switch";
+        };
+      }
+    "automation ui" = "!include automations.yaml";
+ }
