<p>To enable it, add the following lines to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">downloader</span>:
<span class="key">download_dir</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">downloads</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>download_dir</strong> (<em>Required</em>): If the path is not absolute, its assumed to be relative to the Home Assistant configuration directory (eg. <code>.homeassistant/downloads</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="use-the-service" href="#use-the-service"></a> Use the service</h3>
<p>Go the the “Developer Tools”, then to “Call Service”, and choose <code>downloader/download_file</code> from the list of available services. Fill the “Service Data” field as shown in the example below and hit “CALL SERVICE”.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
