Newbie Help - sorry

Configuration
1

hey all,
new to this, so sorry for the newbie questions.

  1. is there a list of some example coniguration.yaml (full) files, i can read to understand more.
  2. Im trying to update my home panel “header” and cant get the weather to work.

  • ive signed up to darksky and have my key

  • ive updated my configuration.yaml file, to include the below (i also updated my home location for the lat and long)

    Example configuration.yaml entry

sensor:

  • platform: darksky
    api_key:
    forecast:

    • 3
      hourly_forecast:
    • 0
    • 1
      monitored_conditions:
    • summary
    • icon
    • temperature
    • apparent_temperature
    • minutely_summary
    • temperature_high
    • temperature_low
    • moon_phase
    • sunrise_time
    • sunset_time
      scan_interval:
      minutes: 3

  • ive logged into my home panel UI and done “edit header”

however, im now stuck, as it doesnt show up.
what is my entity_id, what is the “condition” value when i edit the header

  1. Examples - Home Assistant although these are likely not updated to reflect all the changes since Lovelace became default.
  2. I don’t understand what this means.

You should do a couple of things though. Format your code properly on the forums, and remove your API key.

Go to Http://ipaddress:8123/dev-state and you will see all your ENTITY IDs

No idea what this is referring to.

I would highly suggest taking a look at the Example Pages. But here is one for you https://github.com/DubhAd/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/configuration.yaml

What “home panel ‘header’” are you trying to update? Is it where it typically says “Home Assistant”? If so, that’s just text, not any sort of “device”/“entry”.

Based upon your configuration.yaml entry, your formatting is wrong, but that could just be inputting it wrong on Discourse.
“condition” is typically only ever for automations.

Do you have an example of the end game? What is it that you’re trying to accomplish?

You should never put your API Key out to the public, I hope that is a fake/dud key.

thanks a lot! what i dont understand is what needs to happen, so my weather, in the header, is not just a pic of the sun, and gives more details overall!

What are you using? This isn’t standard Home Assistant…which explains OUR confusion with your questions.
