# Follow Me App
[](https://github.com/custom-components/hacs)
_An app to allow easy coupling of entities_
## Installation
This app is best installed using [HACS](https://github.com/custom-components/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.
## App configuration
```yaml
follow_lamps:
module: follow_me
class: Follow
leader: group.living_room_lamps
follower: switch.entertainment_center_lights,switch.christmas_tree
```
