By default, Home Assistant will try to detect your location from IP address geolocation. Home Assistant will automatically select a temperature unit and time zone based on this location. You can overwrite this by adding the following information to your configuration.yaml:
homeassistant:
# Omitted values in this section will be auto detected using freegeoip.io
# Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
latitude: 32.87336
longitude: 117.22743
# Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)
elevation: 430
# 'metric' for Metric, 'imperial' for Imperial
unit_system: metric
# Pick yours from here:
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
time_zone: America/Los_Angeles
# Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
name: Home
{% linkable_title Password protecting the web interface %}
First, you'll want to add a password for the Home Assistant web interface. Use your favourite text editor to open configuration.yaml and edit the http section:
http:
api_password: YOUR_PASSWORD
If you decide to expose your Home Assistant instance to the internet and forget to set a password, your installation could be accessed by everybody.
See the HTTP component documentation for more options, such as the use of HTTPS encryption.
