Can anyone help? I am not understanding documentation. When I install Hunter Hydrawise it practically kills home assistant. The install documentation I am using is:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/hydrawise
Particularly:
example configuration.yaml entry(s)
binary_sensor:
- platform: hydrawise
sensor:
- platform: hydrawise
switch:
- platform: hydrawise
In my research, Is this command-line? If so, does anyone know what I need to make it work?
@123 Yes. I have that in the bottom of the configuration.yaml file. Today, I continued my troubleshooting by adding the three other entries back into my configuration.yaml file. Initially, I was thinking my trouble was because of the update message:
That message and the document had me so confused and frustrated because at the same time I had so many issues that made it impossible to troubleshoot. When I tested configuration, with Check Configuration resulted in a loop that would not allow you to do anything, including Restart. The only method for restarting HA was to remove power from the system.
Update!!! It was not the Hydrawise Integration!
## Ambient Weather WS-50
##ambient_station:
## api_key: #########
## app_key: #########
## Hunter Hydrawise Integration
hydrawise:
access_token: !secret hunter_token
scan_interval: 30
My entire issue and frustration was caused by my configuration.yaml entry for Ambient Weather Station. Strangely enough, the integration still works when the entry is removed. If anyone knows how/why I’d be very interested in that explanation, as I was again following the integration documentation:

Thank You to everyone that helped me get my home assistant instance operational again!
