Cant change Home Zone Radius

Hello,

I’m trying to expand my home zone. I read in a post on another post that this should now be possible via the UI. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case for me. When I try to change the home zone under the zone settings, the following message appears: “Zone cannot be edited
Zones configured via configuration.yaml cannot be edited via the user interface.”

How can I still expand my Home Zone? Do I need to change something in configuration.yaml? I tried this entry:

zone.home:
  radius: 700   # radius of the Home Zone

This causes the configuration validation check to take ages and it doesn’t change its status either; the loading circle remains. I’m therefore afraid to restart with the new config.

Setup:
Home Assistant is running over a Proxmox VM with HA OS.

Can anyone help me here?

Do it in the ui…
Open your Home Assistant instance and show your zones.

IIRC you may need to remove the zone stuff from the configuration.yaml first (and restart for that to take effect), but it was several years ago when the change happened, so check the Docs to be sure.

Thx for your reply,

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. I’ve removed the zone entries from the configuration.yaml file and restarted HA, but I still can’t adjust the radius of my Home zone.

A little more searchibg…

Here’s mine and the commented stuff I took out back then. Home-Assistant-Config/homeassistant.yaml at 034bd2778e116466bf1c80ac5a2897c3970143e6 · SirGoodenough/Home-Assistant-Config · GitHub

I can do home zone stuff in the UI.
