For some reason in configurator my 3 dots menu stays red which is what indicators that I need to restart HASS after changes have been saved.
I have restarted 4 times, powered my raspberry off/on and even updated to newer version of HA.
The last change I made was in ui-lovelace.yaml (renamed switch) which the file saved the changes eg if I close and re-open the file my changes are there, but the changes do not come through on the love lace dashboard.
Any ideas?!
Have you saved the changes?
Yes changes are saved, well at least the saved button goes and when I close and re-open the yaml file it has the changes in it.
No, that’s not what the red dots indicate. They indicate that a newer version of the configurator is available. Unfortunately the hassio-addon (in the official repository) has still not been updated. Here’s the pending pull request: Update configurator to 0.3.4 by danielperna84 · Pull Request #448 · home-assistant/addons · GitHub
If you don’t want to wait for the official addon to be published you can add my external repository in the addon-store and install it from there: GitHub - danielperna84/hassio-addons: Repository for hass.io add ons
I do not know why the changes you make don’t become effective though. However, it’s definetely not related to the red dots.
I found why it not updating. Coz the latest update I did to Hassio stopped using my ui-lovelace.yaml file and started using the front end editor file.
