[Skip to the steps if you are keen to start the configurations] Happy Automations
Extension:VisualEditor VisualEditor Release status: beta Implementation Page action, Extended syntax, Beta Feature, Skin Description Allows for editing. Oct 07, 2015 roles: - libyamleditor tasks: - name: edit some yaml yedit: src: /path/to/yaml/file key: foo value: bar - name: more complex data structure yedit: src: /path/to/yaml/file key: a#b#c#d value: e: f: This is a test Should produce something that looks like this.
The first question should be the need for an editor when there are inbuilt ‘add-ons’. 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 HA community is generously contributing to enhancing the product capability and soon we should have all configurations through the UI]. 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.
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.
The HA community forum is constantly updated and so I recommend searching there for all questions. Here I collate the minimal steps for you to start your edits. Snagit 8 full crack software download. There are a few sources on the setup but for the end to end configurations. So, the steps below will be of help. A video would have been easier than this doc and I will try to come up with one shortly. Here you go for now.
My current HA version:0.111.4
Step 1: Install the following Kingsman the secret service 1080p subtitles english download.
a) Terminal & SSH addon on HA; Supervisor à Add-on Store à Terminal & SSH
b) PuTTY Software for your PC OS version [Win10 64bit for this example]
c) Notepad++ for your PC OS version
Step 2: Configure Putty
Although there are a couple of ways, I am mentioning here the secure way of access which is SSH using private keys. Accessing the HA is then possible only if there is access to this local file.
a) When you downloaded Putty, it should have downloaded the PuTTYgen as well. Open this, hit ‘generate’ and move the mouse a few times until it generates a key. Then type in a Key passphrase, confirm key passphrase at the respective fields and then download and save the ‘private key’ to the local machine. DO NOT close the window yet.
Notepad++ cannot open the SSH private key we created, unlike WinSCP. So, we need to create an onetime open SSH private key. Hit the ‘Conversions’ on the command tab and select ‘Export Open SSH Key’. Choose a file name and save the ‘Open SSH private key’ to the local machine
b) Now go to the Supervisor on the Home Assistant UI and open the ‘Terminal & SSH’. On the ‘Configuration’ section, copy the key generated in the above step and hit save. In the Network section just below enter ‘22’ as the port value and save.
Go back to the Info section and restart the ‘Terminal & SSH’ add-on.
c) Now open the Putty. Enter your Raspberry IP address (find this from the router, static IP or using apps like IP tools). SSH runs on port 22. Then expand the Category ‘SSH’ on the left and select ‘Auth’. Browse for the private key that we saved in the previous step but DO NOT hit ‘open’ yet.
Go back to Category ‘Session’ and ‘Save’ the setting for ‘Load’ next time. Hit ‘Open’ and you might get some prompting windows. Hit ‘yes’
d) You see the terminal now connected to the Raspberry Pi running the HassIO. Login will be ‘root’ and then enter the passphrase we gave in this section (a). At this stage, the terminal can communicate with the Home Assistant and files could be opened and edited. But we need to edit and manage the files in a user-friendly way through Notepad++. So, let's continue to the last step of configuring the Notepad++.
Step 3: Configure Notepad++
a) Open Notepad++ and select Pluginsà Plugins Admin and search for NppFTP and install this. Notepad++ will restart and you might have a new window to the right. If it is not visible select PluginsàNppFTPàShow NppFTP window.
b) In the NppFTP window, you have an icon for ‘Setting’ and open ‘Profile Settings’. Select ‘Add new’ then give a name. I gave as HASSIO and complete the fields like below
Then go to the ‘Authentication’ tab and make changes like below. We need to select the ‘Open SSH private key’ that we created in step 2 (a) here and provide the same passphrase we created an close the ‘Profile Settings’
c) Select the (Dis)Connect icon in the NppFTP Window and select the Profile we just created. You can see towards the bottom of the notepad++ window, the connection progress and response. On a successful connection, you will have the Home Assistant files listed in the NppFTP window and you are all set to browse and edit them in Notepad++
