Where is the yaml file after a discovery?

1

hi,

i’ve connected home automation to zigbee2mqtt by the automatic discovery way. A lot of devices as been created but i can’t find the associated yaml configuration file in the files editor. Where can i find this file ?

thanks

It does not exist. Discovered devices are stored as json in the .storage registry. This is not meant to be user editable.

What do you want to do?

i’ve a few problems with the discovery. Some switch don’t want to work and i’d like to see the definition of them created by the discovery.

And if I a create a same switch by myself i’ve no problem.
for exemple the auto discovery switch.lumiere_nuit_bas doesn’t work and the same switch design by myself switch.cmde_lumierebas1 work.

This json file is in binary ?

no it’s in regular text but in json format instead of yaml

thank you and where i can find the storage registry ?

it’s in your config directory in the possibly hidden .storage folder (note the “.”)

ok i’ve found the definition in /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/.storage file= core.entity_registry

{
                "area_id": null,
                "capabilities": null,
                "config_entry_id": "1baa6d32c627fcc8380eab7b5b7fc81b",
                "device_class": null,
                "device_id": "b71ff758470a4e656a8cf6090cfc2fc3",
                "disabled_by": null,
                "entity_category": null,
                "entity_id": "switch.lumiere_nuit_bas",
                "icon": null,
                "id": "2ae688992110e68109f35f55bf7fcafd",
                "name": null,
                "options": {},
                "original_device_class": null,
                "original_icon": null,
                "original_name": "lumiere nuit bas",
                "platform": "mqtt",
                "supported_features": 0,
                "unique_id": "0x000d6ffffeaacf99_switch_zigbee2mqtt",
                "unit_of_measurement": null
            },

difficult for me to see if all is right.

i think my problem come from my home assistant integration in zigbee2mqtt software.
i’ve tried to change a few thinks and for the moment all work fine now.
when i click for switch off the light 2 messages are send on mqtt

zigbee2mqtt/lumiere nuit bas

{
  "linkquality": 255,
  "power_on_behavior": null,
  "state": "OFF",
  "update": {
    "state": "available"
  },
  "update_available": true
}

ziggbee2mqtt/bridge/logging :

{
  "level": "info",
  "message": "MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/lumiere nuit bas', payload '{\"linkquality\":255,\"power_on_behavior\":null,\"state\":\"OFF\",\"update\":{\"state\":\"available\"},\"update_available\":true}'"
}
``
before the changes i'd only the first message
