Can't find the "customization" tab. Help pls

Configuration
1

Hi there, I’m fairly new to HA and am starting to set up my HA for when my wife and I move into our own house that we just bought…so I’m sorta going through the motions to have the basics running…

So: I’m trying to install “Waste Collection Schedule”. I’m 99.9% of the way there. I’ve gotten the calendar into HA, so this is not a question about “Waste Collection Schedule”.

Right now, I have it integrated into a dashboard:
However, it’s just saying that I have “12” (no unit). I would like it to say “12 days” (until my garbage is being picked up).

I’ve seen this done in a YT-video. And there the guy mentions a “customization” menu at the bottom of the configuration menu page. However, when I go to “configuration” and scroll down, I do not see anything below the button for “settings”.

I’m usually running HA in German, so perhaps it’s not called “customization” but something different to that effect (in German it’s supposed to be “Anpassung”. It’s supposed to be a page where you can individualize entities, by, for example, adding a desired unit (e.g. “days”) to an entities output.

Does anybody know how I can get this menu item to appear?

Thanks!

P.S. sorry if this is the wrong category; I figured “configuration” was a good place to put a question regarding a menu item that’s supposed to be under “configuration”.

Welcome plutotea!

This section has gone (can’t remember the release version).
Use the customize.yaml file in config directory instead.

Customisation was removed from the graphical user interface. You must now use yaml for most things.

Thanks!!
Why would something be taken out of UI?
I’ll try and parse through the customize.yaml. Though honestly, I’ll probably just come back and ask some more. Sorry in advance.

I had the same problem and could solve it like that:

  1. in configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml
  1. in customize.yaml
    sensor.xyz:
      unit_of_measurement: days
