You don’t modify the files in hassio. You should make a custom component instead.
What doesn’t work about it?
Hi @flamingm0e i will like to change a .py file in this location:
/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/
This is the precise file location and file name:
/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/touchline/climate.py
I am using: HASSIO
Someone fix the component: Roth Touchline - Home Assistant
And they got a locally working touchline.py file that i will like to replace in my hassio system.
Here is the post: New Request: ROTH Touchline - Underfloor Heating System - #27 by pilehave
Can you help??
I’ll reiterate this again.
Make it into a CUSTOM component, and don’t try to modify system files that will be overwritten on the next update.
I cant just make it into a CUSTOM component, and i will like to modify this file.
Can you help or not?
Why not?
And I’m telling you that it won’t work on the next update.
I am helping you. Just because it’s not the answer you want to hear doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
How should i make it into a CUSTOM component?
I know it could not work on next update!
I know the files are changeable, and i will like to change the .py file before i make it into custom component.

Why are you making this difficult?
You just copy the component following directory structure into a directory called custom_components…
You can get all the files needed from GitHub.
I am using hacs, so can you help how i make this file:
Into a custom component that i can use?
Irrelevant?
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/creating_component_loading.html
Put the files needed in custom_components, as I’ve said before.
Okay, i tried to put the 3 files in here: custom_components\touchline
I still see this file be loaded: /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/touchline/climate.py
How do i switch to the custom compnents, i dont see it in the documentation.
OK, so you have the __init__.py, manifest.json, and the climate.py? in that directory?
Nothing special. Custom components should “override” the built in components. After you have added those files, you have restarted?

Yep, i put these files in here: 
and i restartet the hassio yet.
wierd, seems to start the build in component.
you didn’t add the manifest.json and you have 2 __init__ files…
OMG, yearh let me try again 
Okay that broke my hassio.
I got this error now:

But this component have nothing to do with the mqtt broker.
I think the file: “init.py” is the issue the only thing in the file is this:
The touchline component.
The original site: core/homeassistant/components/touchline at dev · home-assistant/core · GitHub have 3 files, and the only file i replaces was climate.py still not working 
The error says it’s failing to setup API
MQTT and everything beyond it is failing to load because of the first error.
That’s all that is supposed to be in that file.
Verify your configuration yaml. It appears that something around API is breaking the loading of config
I believe this question is old 
so this was figured out a long time ago. Thanks for replying though 
What are you talking about?
Allright, now the custom_components is loading the original files.
I did not touch anything in configuration.yaml only recreated the folder and 3 files again.
Now i will try to change the climate.py out.!!
Nvm, I read it wrong srry
