With the new UI I have seen a lot of discussion between GUI and yaml mode here's my solution for the best of both worlds

Configuration

If you put the yaml mode entry in your configuration.yaml file and the comment it out when you’re using the GUI and then copy and paste from the RAW configurator into your ui-lovelace.yaml file you can go back and forth as long as you remember to copy and paste going back and forth. I wonder if there isn’t a way this could be automated with a toggle within HA?

so where’s your solution? :wink:

Copy/paste back and forth, but that’s mainly to keep everything updated in GitHub.

If you are copying/pasting back and forth all the time then why not just use lovelace in yaml mode?

Saves a bunch of work that way.

I prefer to edit using the GUI, but want the yaml file for backup and version control
