Question 'homeassistant: '

Configuration
1

I’ve got the following in the ‘homeassistant:’ section of my configuration.yaml file. HA restarts fine, no errors, etc. However, when I go to Settings → System → General the data is not set and I have to set it manually. Shouldn’t it read it from configuration.yaml?

homeassistant:
  name: Home
  latitude: !secret latitude
  longitude: !secret longitude
  elevation: !secret elevation
  unit_system: imperial
  temperature_unit: F
  currency: USD
  time_zone: "America/Chicago"
  #customize: !include customize.yaml
  country: US

It depends what version you have of HA but I think “imperial” is not accepted anymore … should be “us_customary”…

You could just remove this from configuration.yaml and set it in the gui also.

Understood that I can remove it from configuration yaml… just wondering why it wasn’t showing up in the front end if I have it configured there. Not a big deal, just don’t understand the purpose of it if you have to enter it in the GUI anyways.

Good call, thanks… I updated that; though still same result. I renamed my ‘name’ and it still doesn’t show up in in the GUI after reboot.

Any error message in home-assistant.log ?

No sir, nothing.

I believe the location of the data has changed. It’s now stored off in the .storage/core.config file. So this yaml config is ignored and can be removed
