Hi, I am new to HA, I installed it in Virtualbox on my laptop to try it out and gain some experience before putting it on a raspberry pi.
Installation worked fine, and I managed to connect my Daiking airco, Tado thermostat, Sony TV, and so far it works.
Now I want to add my Broadlink devices and start making some automations, but to do that, I need to use the config.yaml file I suppose.
In the documentation, I found that it should be located in /home/“myusername”
but when I go to the /home folder in the linux command line of the virtualbox console, with the command ls -al, I see that it is empty
I used root and login to get to the linux commands.
So where can I find config.yaml and do I need to use vi to edit it, or is it accessible from the GUI webpages ?
I also noticed that there is only a limited set of linux CLI commands available, there is no ifconfig, … can I add these commands in some way using apt or another package manager like in a normal linux distro ?
Thanks for your quick reply, I installed the file editor, and found configuration.yaml
To my surprise it is nearly empty (see below), and the other files that are referenced in configuration.yaml are also empty.
I expected to find the yaml equivalent of the things I configured in the GUI (Daiking, Tado, … devices)
Is this normal, and are the GUI and configuration.yaml 2 completely separated configuration resources ?
