Here you go for now.Ī) Terminal & SSH addon on HA Supervisor à Add-on Store à Terminal & SSHī) PuTTY Software for your PC OS version Īlthough there are a couple of ways, I am mentioning here the secure way of access which is SSH using private keys. A video would have been easier than this doc and I will try to come up with one shortly. There are a few sources on the setup but for the end to end configurations. Here I collate the minimal steps for you to start your edits. The HA community forum is constantly updated and so I recommend searching there for all questions. Now, why notepad++ over other standalone editors? It is free, support multiple encodings, highlight syntax for multiple languages (not everyone speaks English in good sense) lightweight, plugins of-course and save versions locally. Until then for a few tweaks, we need the manual edits and the file is going to get bigger and difficult to manage through the ‘add-on’ file editors, IMHO. The HA community is generously contributing to enhancing the product capability and soon we should have all configurations through the UI]. Soon after the installation of HA, you would start personalising your home automation by editing the configuration.YAML(for those configs not yet supported by the User Interface). The first question should be the need for an editor when there are inbuilt ‘add-ons’.
