HI,
trying to cleanup my config folder, Id like to move 4 text files with filed notifications, created by the https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/file/ to a dedicated folder.
If I enter a path in the config
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: file
filename: /PATH/FILENAME #<----
I get config errors.
the sensors can follow which ever path I set it to alright, but the notify platform won’t allow it, as it expects only a file name https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/file/#filename
Is this correct? Hope we can change it somehow.
thanks for having a look
well, that was just the thing, I had no error message, just a recreated file in the config directory.
I’ve redone the config, and all of a sudden it now starts to work! copied the exact config I had put aside back…
using this now:
homeassistent:
whitelist_external_dirs:
- /config
- /config/filed
notify platform:
notify:
# https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.file/
- name: filed_notifications
platform: file
filename: /config/filed/filed_notifications.txt
# timestamp: False
- name: filed_automations
platform: file
filename: /config/filed/filed_automations.txt
# timestamp: False
- name: filed_intercom_messages
platform: file
filename: /config/filed/filed_intercom_messages.txt
- name: filed_ios_messages
platform: file
filename: /config/filed/filed_ios_messages.txt
and the file sensor
sensor:
- platform: file
file_path: /config/filed/filed_notifications.txt
name: Filed notifications
- platform: file
file_path: /config/filed/filed_intercom_messages.txt
name: Filed intercom messages
- platform: file
file_path: /config/filed/filed_ios_messages.txt
name: Filed ios messages
amazing. but it works again, with a cleaner root dir.
