<h2><a class='title-link' name='configuring-home-assistant' href='#configuring-home-assistant'></a> Configuring Home Assistant</h2>
<p>The configuration for Home Assistant lives by default in the <code>config</code> folder. The file <code>configuration.yaml</code> is the main file that contains which components will be loaded and what their configuration is. An example configuration file is located at <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/master/config/configuration.yaml.example"><code>config/configuration.yaml.example</code></a>.</p>
<p>When launched for the first time, Home Assistant will write a default configuration enabling the web interface and device discovery. It can take up to a minute for your devices to be discovered and show up in the interface.</p>
<p class='note'>
You will have to restart Home Assistant for changes in <code>configuration.yaml</code> to take effect.
</p>
<h3>Password protecting the web interface</h3>
<p>The first thing you want to add is a password for the web interface. Use your favourite text editor to open the file <code>/config/configuration.yaml</code> and add the following to the bottom:</p>
<figure class='code'><figcaption><span></span></figcaption><div class="highlight"><table><tr><td class="gutter"><pre class="line-numbers"><span class='line-number'>1</span>
<span class='line-number'>2</span>
</pre></td><td class='code'><pre><code class='bash'><span class='line'>http:
</span><span class='line'> api_password: YOUR_PASSWORD
</span></code></pre></td></tr></table></div></figure>
<h3><a class='title-link' name='adding-devices-and-services' href='#adding-devices-and-services'></a> Adding devices and services</h3>
<p>Home Assistant will be able to automatically discover and configure any Google Chromecasts, Belkin WeMo switches and Philips Hue bridges in your network if you have <a href="/components/discovery.html">the discovery component</a> enabled (which is by default).</p>
