I noticed a new configuration in Integrations for Zones. Trying it out I noticed when I add a zone it immediately displays on my map. I also noticed you can add or delete but to edit you must go to the /config/.storage directory and edit the file: core.config-entries. The existing zones established in configuration.yaml still are in effect but new entries are not placed there.
So the question is; is this the shape of things to come where zones will be phased out of configuration.yaml? If so, is there a subroutine being written to edit new zones via the gui rather than termcap based nano under a shell? Enquiring minds want to know…
It has been there for a few releases. There only seems to be an option to remove or start a new one from scratch in the gui. But as you point out the configuration file is open and easy to edit manually.
So I figure; let’s move all our zones to one place to manage rather than splitting them between zones.yaml and /config/.storage/core.config_entries. After removing all existing zones and attempting to recreate new ones in the Configuration GUI… guess what? Ya can’t create or modify the parameters for “Home”.
Looks like I’ll be sticking with the zones.yaml route until this new feature is ready for prime time.
