Configuring Home Assistant

<hr class="divider">
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Home Assistant will create a configuration folder when it is run for the first time. The location of the folder differs between operating systems: on OS X and Linux it’s <code>~/.homeassistant</code> and on Windows it’s <code>%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code>. If you want to use a different folder for configuration, run <code>hass --config path/to/config</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Inside your configuration folder is the file <code>configuration.yaml</code>. This is the main file that contains which components will be loaded and what their configuration is. This file contains YAML code, which is explained briefly below. <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/config/configuration.yaml.example">An example configuration file is located here</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When launched for the first time, Home Assistant will write a default configuration file 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 user interface.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you run into trouble while configuring Home Assistant, have a look at <a href="/getting-started/troubleshooting-configuration/">the configuration troubleshooting page</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="note tip">
|
||
Install colorlog (<code>$ pip install colorlog</code>) to make the console output easier to read, hence also easier to catch errors and warnings.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="note">
|
||
You will have to restart Home Assistant each time you make changes in <code>configuration.yaml</code> in order for these to take effect.
|
||
