I can not add a service in configuration.yaml and see it in the home

Configuration
#1

Hello everyone.
I introduce myself, my name is Michael. I do not speak English very well. so sorry if I make mistakes. I start with home assistant. I can not add a service in configuration.yaml and see it in the home.
I modify the configuration.yaml file with visual studio. I installed samba too.
when I modify the configuration file, I restart home asistant in configuration / general / server management restart.
I would like to test the location icloud, tado, zwave. :slight_smile:

if someone wants to help me to start. it would be great. thank you in advance

Welcome Michael.

A service is a specific thing in Home Assistant but I suspect you are talking about something else. Can you give a specific example with corresponding lines in your configuration.yaml? Also are there any messages in the error console?

#3

thank you for the answer.
yes for example tado


I put the following lines in configuration.yaml.

tado:
username: [email protected]
password: monpassword

device_tracker:

but after I do not see what to do.

#4

Can you format your yaml code properly? See FAQ specifically part 11.

I don’t use tado so someone else may have more direct experience, but I would compare your device tracker configuration to the tado documentation you linked to. The platform is tado in the docs, but you have Google maps in your config.

#5

yes sorry

device_tracker:
    platform: google_maps
    username: [email protected]
    password: monpassword
#6

You are missing a hyphen and change to tado

device_tracker:
  - platform: tado
    username: [email protected]
    password: monpassword
#7

I hope this isn’t your real password

#8

when i added the yaml code correctly to have for example device_tracker, and google maps. I have to add a file in Hass.io?

no :slight_smile:
thank you i test this
