Home Assistant is now using YAML for itβs configuration file. YAML allows the use of lists, which should make the configuration file a bit more flexible and useful. The new configuration file format is backwards compatible with existing components. Because of this, there is no need for component developers to update their components.
+
+
The new file is named configuration.yaml and if it canβt be found in your config directory, Home Assistant will instead try to find the old configuration file, home-assistant.conf.
+
+
The home-assistant.conf.example has been replaced with an updated configuration.yaml.example.
+
+
Users of Home Assistant should migrate as the old configuration format is deprecated.
