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`:
|
|
|
|
```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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
http:
|
|
api_password: YOUR_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
|
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.
