Hi,
I’m a new HA and forum user
I’m using HomeAssistant OS at core-2024.12.5
, and so far my smart home setup is limited to a couple of smart lights on lamps and room temperature monitoring. For those purposes, I’ve not yet had to modify any configuration files, but I’m starting to look at yaml configurations for learning purposes. I’m using both the File Editor integration and the Visual Studio Code Server Add-On (and I like both).
I have some questions related to access to configuration files, in the hope that someone could help.
When I use the Visual Studio add-on, configuration files seem to be available at two different mount points: /homeassistant
and config
:
Are these two equivalent? If not, which one is the preferred location to edit/create configuration files?
Finally, I learnt that e.g. helpers created with the web interface are not stored in top-level configuration files, but under JSON files on /homeassistant/.storage/config
(or /config/.storage/config
). How can I acces those files with the File Editor? They seem not to be available when browsing (probably because .storage
is a hidden folder?)
Thanks!
