No Lovelace Raw Editor, no lovelace file

I only recently switched from the old states version to lovelace (more accurately: I did nothing until states didn’t work anymore and the lovelace site didn’t show anything automatically :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) but lovelace only works in manual mode. When I delete the „mode: yaml“–line in config.yaml and the ui–lovelace.yaml file and restart, I don‘t get the 3 dots on the right to start the raw editor or de ui editor. When I change back to manual mode then I get the menu (but can, of course, not start the ui editor). Any Ideas? By the way: I don‘t have (or am unable to find) the file config/.storage/lovelace (only some other files are there). Any ideas? Thanx alot!

you need to do something like “Take control”, otherwise LL works in auto mode

I’d like LL to work in auto mode.

when I say auto mode I mean all entities are added automatically by LL and you have no control, no yaml files, no raw editor or Configure UI.
is this what you’re after?

No, not exactley. I’d like to use Configure UI, but can’t reach it.

If you or on .0.107 or .0.108, maybe you can try to add a second lovelace dashboard, and see if you can take control of that one.

Configuration->Lovelace dashboards

Unfortunately this didn’t work. I added a second dashboard through configuration.yaml. (Because I made a mistake HA startet in Safe Mode. There I could see - for the first time - the Configuration Page. After correcting and a new start, the configuration page is gone again). But I can’t control that one neither …

Then you have bigger problems than missing lovelace. Maybe post your configuration.yaml.

Sure. I’ve excluded parts which seemed irrelevant with “[…]“.

Ok, it seems staightforward. Add

default_config:

to your configuration.yaml

Wow - that really was it!!! Everything works now as it should. Thank you very, very much for your help!!!

that’s interesting.
I don’t have it and no issues so far…
Saw it in other people’s configs and vaguely remember when they introduce it.

Hello,

Since the latest " Home Assistant 0.114.2" update, my raw editor is missing !

I add default_config: to my yaml configuration but nothing change.

Thanks

Problem is now solved. This was a language problem.

Hey @Bads125, could you elaborate on Language problem.
I am still facing the same issue.
