How do you enable Home Assistant Supervisor in configuration.yaml file
Home Assistant Supervisor is automatically included when Home Assistant is installed via either of these two installation methods:
- Home Assistant OS
- Home Assistant Supervised
Supervisor is not configured via any settings in configuration.yaml.
Thanks for the response. I’m running home assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi 4B. Supervisor isn’t available on the sidebar and when I try to install the integration I get this message: “You can add this integration by adding it to your ‘configuration.yaml’. See the documentation for more information”. There’s a button to “Open Documentation” but I’ve found zero documentation as to how it’s done. If it’s automatically installed as part of the OS, how so I activate it?
Supervisor is not in the sidebar and not in the menus either.
At one point it was in the menus, I think, but that is a long time ago.
My guess is that you are watching/reading a howto or guide and that one might be pretty old.
In general howtos/guides over 1 year old is outdated for sure and if you can then use guides with an age less than 6 months.
thanks for the info. So how is it accessed?
For a supervised installation you actually have to install it yourself.
Strange. Over the years I have installed Home Assistant Supervised at least three times and don’t recall having to install Supervisor as a separate step.
To my knowledge, the “Supervisor” and the “Supervisor integration” are different things. The first acts as a container manager (and more) whereas the second one exposes entities concerning the Supervisor itself.
How is what accessed?
You don’t access the Supervisor itself. However you can access the things it manages via the Supervisor integration (refer to the link I posted above).
You can also access the Add-ons that are managed by the Supervisor via Settings → Addons.
Thanks for the responses. I do some research.
