Configuring Home Assistant
|
||
</h1>
|

</header>
|
||
<hr class="divider">
|
||
<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 appear in the user interface.</p>
|
||
<p>The web interface can be found at <code class="highlighter-rouge">http://ip.ad.dre.ss:8123/</code> - for example if your Home Assistant system has the IP address <code class="highlighter-rouge">192.168.0.40</code> then you’ll find the web interface as <code class="highlighter-rouge">http://192.168.0.40:8123/</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>The location of the folder differs between operating systems:</p>
|
||
<table>
|
||
<thead>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<th>OS</th>
|
||
<th>Path</th>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</thead>
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>macOS</td>
|
||
<td><code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code></td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>Linux</td>
|
||
<td><code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code></td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>Windows</td>
|
||
<td><code class="highlighter-rouge">%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code></td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody>
|
||
</table>
|
||
<p>If you want to use a different folder for configuration, use the config command line parameter: <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass --config path/to/config</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Inside your configuration folder is the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. This is the main file that contains components to be loaded with their configurations. Throughout the documentation you will find snippets that you can add to your configuration file to enable functionality.</p>
|
||
<p class="note">
|
||
You will have to restart Home Assistant for changes to <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> to take effect.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If you run into trouble while configuring Home Assistant, have a look at the <a href="/getting-started/troubleshooting-configuration/">configuration troubleshooting page</a> and at the <a href="/cookbook/#example-configurationyaml">configuration.yaml examples</a>.</p>
|
||
<p class="note tip">
|
||
Test any changes to your configuration files from the command line with <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass --script check_config</code>. This script allows you to test changes without the need to restart Home Assistant.
