When launched for the first time, Home Assistant will write a default configuration file, called `configuration.yaml`, enabling the web interface and [device discovery](/components/discovery/). It can take up to a minute for your devices to be discovered and appear in the user interface.
|
|
|
|
The `configuration.yaml` is written in [YAML](/docs/configuration/yaml/), stored in [`.homeassistant`](/docs/configuration/), and can be modified with a text editor.
|
|
|
|
See the [components overview page](/components/) to find sample entries for your devices and services. For a sensor that is showing [random values](/components/sensor.random/), the entry would looks like the sample below:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: random
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The [Setting up devices part](/docs/configuration/devices/) contains of the documentation additional details about adding device and services and [customizization](docs/configuration/customizing-devices/).
|
|
|
|
For further details about configuration, please take a look at the [configuration documentation](/docs/configuration/).
