I had my Home Assistant set up on a Raspbery Pi 3 before and it was working quite well. Unfortunately I have to move house and relocate… Things got so busy, but to cut it short, I managed to get the time to starting up again.
The new Has.io seems pretty user friendly than before. The whole system is way easier to install and Im really looking forward to having it up and running again.
Unfortunately, I am having a stumble accessing my configuration.yaml file. for some reasons, these is the only thing written on it:
Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.
I dont kow where to start from here. Hopefully somewone could point me to the right way as I really wanted to have this awesome system in my new house.
Please format your code properly. Use three backticks (```) above and below your code.
Either way, what do you mean by “having trouble accessing configuration.yaml”? What you posted appears to be from a fresh install. If you had Home Assistant set up before (and installed it using Hass.io), then you can/should have made a snapshot of your previous installation and copied to your new setup before doing a fresh install.
It was almost 3 years ago. I got the whole thing running and my devices connected. But I can’t configure the Configuration.yaml file. I tried pasting the old ones, but it doesn’t change at all. sorry I’m new to this forum.
This is the log when you start configurator add on:

I did manage to install the add on. I can access the configuration.yaml but it gives me a different blocks and codes. I am expecting a block that starts with “homeassistant”as what the instructions was saying. I tried to input it manually but nothing seems to change. But I get the ones that i posted in the beginning. I wonder where i got myself wrong.
Where you went wrong is relying on old information.
Use the home assistant documentation and look up each thing in your current configuration and you’ll find the reason behind homeassistant: not working… because it’s already there.
Just because your config file looks different than an old video or tutorial doesn’t mean it’s wrong or you didn’t install it correctly. It just means that the video or tutorial was created before a bunch of changes were made to the system which also means it is out of date.
Actually, I don’t think it’s completely their fault.
If you go to the “getting started” (“installation”) section of the docs and look at the right side columns you’ll see the link to the “advanced configuration”. In there it still has a reference to the “homeassistant:” section and says “Find the homeassistant: configuration block, which should be the first thing in configuration.yaml .”
It looks like the docs are wrong (or at least misleading) and don’t mention the new “default_config:” there yet.
