Is there a way to preconfigure ZHA when home assistant starts

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi

I have a question that instead of adding and configuring ZHA from home assistant UI can we preconfigure it in home assistant configuration.yaml file ? So that once home assistant comes up I do not have to add the ZHA integration manually and it shows up on the UI.

What I have tried till now is I have the below things in configuration.yaml:

zha:
  usb_path:  /dev/ttyUSB1 
  database_path: /app/zigbee.db

But when I run Home assistant, logs are displayed as below:

It does install all the dependencies but it shows “usb_path” is deprecated. And I have not found what is the key name that I can use in yaml file.

So just wanted to know whether this can be done or not ? And if it can be done how can we do it ?

Why do you want to do that?

I think setting up via yaml is deprecated and is only used to make modifications.

Hi @septillion

I just wanted to have ZHA setup already instead of adding the integration from the UI. I thought this could be done by configuration.yaml file.
Does that mean we can only add integration from the UI and cannot preconfigure it ?

Think so.

But if you want to deploy it multiple times I don’t see an advantage of the yaml vs GUI. Just deploy it, doe basic config and make and image.
