Hass.IO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of all things, not something I expected I’d do. But, as it turns out – automation is definitely nice. I’ve got Wake-on-LAN working, and my lights etc – so I can turn on the lights in my office and boot up my workstation, with one button, on my phone. Everything is ready to use by the time I’ve made a coffee and walked from the kettle to the computer in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setup was surprisingly easy. I followed the official instructions, but I added some extra steps along with them (because I liked the look and function better).
Rather than everything being in configuration.yaml, I now have sensors in their own folder, with a yaml file per sensor (radarr, sonarr etc each have their own). Switches, themes, device trackers, zones… all separate files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be honest – it’s for my convenience. Being able to add a sensor and test around with it without risking damaging my existing config file is a godsend. YAML is space-sensitive, so one thing in the wrong place screws you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s the command to install it on Ubuntu with docker already running. You need it for this method. After running it, open the web ui and create a user etc. Don’t bother going further than being able to log in – we’re going to change a lot. The above commands will create the folders for HACS, and separate sensor configs. They help immensely. Next, we’re going to replace the default configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That renames the default. It’s only there as a backup, for if this next bit royally f***s itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That needs to go into Open your Web UI and go to Hass.IO Of all things, not something I expected I’d do.

HASS will restart and reload the new config. Now any valid <\/em>config file you place in the relevant folder will be loaded when restarting HASS.
