I been trying the new Config UI way of editing the UI, but I found that I cannot edit an existing card, I end up having to delete and recreate it. Which means I have to keep a reference file with my config for each card to copy-paste from.
It occurred to me today that I should just go back to YAML mode. I have added mode: yaml under the lovelace config option and yet it will not load the UI from my ui-lovelace.yaml file.
lovelace:
mode: yaml
Since simply adding the “mode” option did not seem to work I tried deleting all of the cards and views I created in the Config UI web interface. Now restarting home assistant immediately kicks me to an Edit UI interface. What do I need to do to get mode: yaml to be respected?
edit: Problem solved! The problem was related to the browser cache. By using the CTRL+F5 the page is reloaded correctly by using the yaml file.
The steps I have done are:
Add the mode yaml in the configuration file
Remove the lovelace file from the .storage folder
Reboot
Press CTRL+F5 to reload the page without using the cache
I have the same problem but, for me, the ui-lovelace.yaml does not works anymore.
I have started to use the lovelace with the version 0.87 and change something with the integrated editor.
Now I want to take more control by using directly the YAML mode.
I have added, at the end of the configuration.yaml (but I have tried also at the start of the file, immediately after the “homeassistant:”)
lovelace:
mode: yaml
then I have restarted many times the Home Assistant but the UI still the previous one.
I have tried also to remove (rename) the file lovelace inside the .storage folder and reboot again, but the result does not change.
