I have added a generic hydrostat and it is working but I can not find the yaml file for it.
I have looked in both the config.yaml and climate.yaml folders and they are not there. I have a generic thermostat in the climate.yaml but nothing else.
using file editor, HAOS 18.1, Core 2026.6.4.
If you created it through the Helpers dashboard, it doesn’t have a YAML file… just like the majority of things created through the UI.
If you created it in YAML, and you have split your configuration, there is no way for anyone here to know where you put it. You could try using a file contents search… I don’t think File Editor does that, but there are other options like Studio Code Server or Blueprint Studio that do.
Thanks.
I set it up with a helper. Nothing was in the config or climate folders. How would I add variables?
Please clarify what you are asking.
There are configuration variables such as unique_id, min_humidity, target_humidity, etc. They are in the Generic Hygrostat documentation. If I cant find the file I cant add the parameters. Do I need to delete the existing integration and add it back in manually in my Climate.yaml folder?
Those three specifically are only available if you set it up completely in YAML. When set up as a Helper,
they are handled by the backend; min_humidity and target_humidity get the default values.
You have access to the three functionally important ones i.e. wet_tolerance, dry_tolerance, and min_cycle_duration through the UI config flow:
You do not need to… But, if you want to do everything in YAML, you can do that.
How you add YAML configuration anywhere outside of configuration.yaml depends on how you have structured and split your configuration. If Climate.yaml was set up with climate as it’s top-level key, then no you should not put config that belongs under the generic_hygrostat integration in it.
