I’ve messed up my Lovelace Config - please help

Configuration Frontend

I deleted some lightwave devices from config/.storage/lovelace that were still showing on UI after I had deleted them from configuration.yaml but it seems I have now messed it up and when opening HA i’m greeted with Expecting ',' delimiter: line 48 column 5 (char 1583)

You’ll have to preserve the formatting for anyone here to help you out. Use the code button in the toolbar

That’s why you are not supposed to edit .storage files - you’ve broken the json format. There is a raw editor.

Your best course of action might be to load states again and delete the lovelace file in storage (or rename it) and then let it create a lovelace file again, take control and then see if you can work out what you broke and copy/paste back from the old one. Make sure HA is stopped before you play with the storage files though.

What I learned:

BACKUP all your files BEFORE you tweak.

Thanks for your help guys. I think I’m going to start again, I haven’t really done much anyway and it won’t take me long to get back where I’m at.

Most important thing. I won’t be touching anything without back ups from now on :man_facepalming:

Don’t touch storage files. Use the raw editor.

Hi,

I have the same problem. My HA is running in a docker container. After a hard reset (power off, power on) I get the message

grafik

How can I fix this?

Thank you!

You have to figure out where your error is in your configuration for the ui.

9

And where do I find that config file ?
Is it configuration.yaml

Thanks!

10

depends on where you were editing your lovelace

11

I edit it in web ui

Where can I find this file within in a docker container ? Thank you

found it. Didn’t know that .storage is hidden
