I’m in the dark people… please help!

I at one time accidentally had two instances of HA running and didn’t even realize it because I made a mistake when initially setting up my virtualenv… I rebooted and made sure just the instance that was supposed to be was running … I was trying to edit the config files for the wrong one that is how I realized what was going on… I had yaml files in a different directory so no changes were being reflected
