Migrating the Owner from person.yaml to GUI configuration

Configuration

Hi,

I have a person entity configured via YAML and associated with my user, who is also an owner:

person:
  - name: MyName
    id: mynameid
    user_id: myuserid
    device_trackers:
      - device_tracker.my_phone

The user details are:

  • ID: myuserid
  • Display name: not relevant
  • Username: myusername
  • Group: Owner

I would like to migrate this person entity from YAML to the People GUI configuration, but I can’t figure out how to associate it with the existing user (who is part of the Owner group).

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I just don’t understand what’s going on with people…

Haha, you’re trying it the other way around! I used to prefer YAML and Git too, but I eventually gave in. Given the strong push from the Home Assistant team towards the GUI, I decided to move everything to the GUI, hoping it would make maintenance easier and let me take advantage of automatic migrations and new features without the extra work.

i guess so :wink: the problems are connected though – if you find answer to your question, I may find to mine – and vice versa :slight_smile:
