Where are python dependencies stored?

Dear HA Experts,

Hi. I need to test a new rpi_rf protocol that I wrote to support my Orvibo blinds.com blinds. I need to replace the stock rpi_rf.py with my customized version. But when I open a terminal (using the Advanced SSH & Web Terminal add on) and search from root (/) using “find . -name “rpi_rf.py””, rpi_rf is missing. This seems impossible because, the ha-rpi_rf integration is working for me (I can successfully transmit using the built-in protocols). And ha-rpi_rf is built on top of rpi_rf so it has to be there. Where is it hidden? Is it running in a virtual machine or something?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Running the Advanced SSH terminal, you are in a docker container other than the HA core docker.

To get to the HA container terminal, run the following from within Advanced SSH terminal.

docker exec -it homeassistant bash

Now you will find the python environment that rpi_rf is installed in.

Thanks, Mark.
It was only necessary to turn off protection mode in the SSH terminal add on, and then it works like you say.
