Installation Home Assistant OS
#1

Hi

I installed HASS.IO, now connected to http://IP:8123
I try just to add text but with no success

I modified configuration.yaml like this

input_text:
text1:
name: Text 1
initial: Some Text

Now checking
core-ssh:/config# hassio homeassistant check
ok

Now refreshing the http page, but nothing appears , do you know why ?

regards

Please read point 11 then edit your post accordingly: How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question

Also you have to restart home assistant after updating the configuration for it to take effect.

input_text:
  text1:
    name: Text 1
    initial: Some Text

core-ssh:/config# hassio homeassistant check

Have you taken control of the lovelace UI or are you using Lovelace YAML mode?

#5

i didn’t install that “lovelace ui”, can you explain how to install it ?
how to start using it, creating a little button for example
regards

Lovelace is the default front end of home assistant. No need to install it. It is already there.

  1. Click the three dots icon top left of your HA page.
  2. Select “Configure UI”
  3. Acknowledge the pop up window (if any).
  4. Add a new card by clicking the (+) icon lower right.

Information on the types of cards are available here:

it is working thx
now how to create a simple button on and off for example ?
because i added a light but i see the code in the dashboard and not the light ?

Add a light card. Select your light entity id from the drop down list in the card. Save the card and exit UI edit mode with the X icon upper left.
