Need help setting up dashboard resources without hacs

My man, we are only talking about the JS files (The resources) and the resource text line in your configuration.yaml (The callout for the resources). No other files are in question here.

If the files exist and the resource that calls them out is properly set. Then it should work for you. Yaml is restricted to using YAML resources. UI can use both. If you don’t have HACS installed, then just use the UI if you can’t get YAML to work.

I’m confused here.

I did not think that the JS files would be a topic of discussion. Initially, you asked me to change the path from /hackfiles to /local/community, so when I removed hacks, nothing was deleted, as there was there no reference for hacks to delete. Sorry, you might have missed that and initially, I did ask what files are you referring to.

I am now stuck. Home Assistant is moving away from yaml configurations. Can you confirm that the yaml way still can be done and the os programming has not changed?

Thanks for your efforts thus far.

For what it’s worth, I use yaml to call out my resources and it works for everything.

They will be. That’s why i’ve been asking you about them. Because if they don’t exist, there’s nothing to load. Which is why i’ve been getting frustrated with you.

The files need to exist at the specified location in order to be properly used in the resources section of your yaml.

Lastly, this should go without saying, when you make this switch, you have to restart (not reboot) home assistant.
