As part of the default onboarding process, Home Assistant can detect your location from IP address geolocation. Home Assistant will automatically select a temperature unit and time zone based on this location. You may adjust this during onboarding, or afterwards at Configuration -> General.
If you prefer YAML, you can add the following information to your configuration.yaml:
homeassistant:
latitude: 32.87336
longitude: 117.22743
elevation: 430
unit_system: metric
time_zone: America/Los_Angeles

Reload Core Service
Home Assistant offers a service to reload the core configuration while Home Assistant is running called homeassistant.reload_core_config. This allows you to change any of the above sections and see it being applied without having to restart Home Assistant. To call this service, go to the "Service" tab under Developer Tools, select the homeassistant.reload_core_config service and click the "CALL SERVICE" button. Alternatively, you can press the "Reload Location & Customizations" button under Configuration > Server Control.
