Where to find the YAML for a GUI-configured schedule?

Configuration
1

Hi all,

first time posting, so pls forgive me if I did not hit the right spot. So far, I was able to solve everything by reading forum and doc, but for this question I had no success.

I created a schedule via the GUI (settings - device & settings - helpers). I want to modify this schedule, because I need more granularity for the time stamps (quarter hr). Thus, I thought I change the generated YAML. However, I can’t find it.

I even tried grep -r --include "*.yaml" schedule . but it brought up only the automations that use the schedule, but not the schedule itself.

I CAN add a new schedule manually in configuration.yaml. However, I would prefer to see the GUI-generated one as a kind of a blueprint. Besides that, as a developer I am just curios: so far, I find every GUI generated object in YAML, but not the schedule. What am I overlooking?

Any help is deeply appreciated!
Rainer

The schedule file is only available as .json under /config/.storage/schedule

Thanks! I overlooked .storage, actually had not expected a part of the config in JSON. Now I see the GUI seems to work with JSON, at least partly. Good to know.

Any luck editing /config/.storage/schedule for finer granularity?

I found this thread as I’d like more granularity over the times in the schedule. Being fairly new to HA I’d expected to be able to switch to YAML for the schedule helper like you can with automations.
Although it doesn’t seem you can, I’m guessing editing the schedule file directly is not recommended but I assume in practice it works fine as long as you’re careful not to make an error?
