Thanks for all the help @n0dyjeff
Since Iām not great with all the different commands via the CLI, I was able to get it working by adjusting the permissions of the folder via the folder explorer through the Properties section.
That allowed me to make a change in the configuration file that then showed up on the frontend of HA.
I really appreciate all the help from you and the others to get me a step closer to bringing my house automation under HA.
On to the next challenge
