New 094 section - "Editor disabled..."

GAS · June 6, 2019, 6:42pm

After the 094 upgrade I see a new section on the Configuration>General page.
See attached screen shot - “Editor disabled because config stored in configuration.yaml.” 094-config-error , just below this is also a map section with the same message/issue.
What do I need to change in my configuration.yaml file to correct this?

In config.yaml, comment out all fields that you see in the UI Editor and restart.

I had the same issue, cleared the settings from my config, but the map stays grey, so I cannot set my location now.

any clue how to fix this one?

thanks

Maybe zoom out?

Tap manically on - to zoom out… you’re in the middle of the ocean…

Come here with the same question, thanks for the tip. That is really confusing, you need to tap 11 times the map just to see anything.

I think this is important to correct, I opened an issue here on Github

Could you be a bit more specific in describing what you mean by commenting out all fields that you see in the UI Editor? I don’t understand how I should know which lines in configuration.yaml should be commented out by looking at the UI Editor. Thanks for your patience.

This:

#  name: Home
#  latitude: 12.3456
#  longitude: 12.3456
#  elevation: 99
#  unit_system: metric
#  time_zone: Europe/London

This confused me a bit too. Thanks for the tip!

I also saw that the drop down for time zone isn’t functional.
I had to start typing what mine is before a list appeared.

The map should be zoomed out to the whole world, not stuck in the middle of the ocean!

Also mine just pops up a ‘fail’ box when I place my house correctly and click ‘save’.

Wondering were the config is stored for the editor?

DavidFW1960 · June 8, 2019, 2:27am

.storage/core.config

Thanks David

Is the directions to comment out the Home and the location in the configuration.yaml file? This is contrary to most of the setup directions.

DavidFW1960 · June 10, 2019, 1:03am

Only if you wish to use the GUI setup… then just comment out the corresponding lines (lat, long, height, time zone) and you will get the GUI version on next restart. Undoubtedly a lot of docs are out-of-date now because of this change.

bschatzow · June 10, 2019, 1:13am

Do you then add your home lat and long to your zone.yaml file?

aidbish · June 10, 2019, 1:23am

No you then select your location using the map, just remember to zoom out a few times as it set to middle of the ocean for some reason

bschatzow · June 10, 2019, 1:31am

Seems kind of silly this change. Not sure why it can’t use an address to locate rather than keeping roaming to find the home location. Much easier to and more accurate to use the actual Lat and lon for a location in the configuration.yaml file.

DavidFW1960 · June 10, 2019, 1:37am

well you still can by either using YAML mode (no-change) or stop home-assistant and edit the .storage/core.config file but be very careful and don’t break the JSON format then restart HA and you’re done.

bschatzow · June 10, 2019, 1:55am

I just went back to my original yaml file. Can you turn off the editor is not available and the map?
