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`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
homeassistant:
|
|
name: Home
|
|
latitude: 32.87336
|
|
longitude: 117.22743
|
|
elevation: 430
|
|
unit_system: metric
|
|
time_zone: America/Los_Angeles
|
|
external_url: "https://www.example.com"
|
|
internal_url: "http://homeassistant.local:8123"
|
|
whitelist_external_dirs:
|
|
- /usr/var/dumping-ground
|
|
- /tmp
|
|
allowlist_external_urls:
|
|
- "http://images.com/image1.png"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You will not be able to edit anything in Configuration -> General in the UI if you are using YAML configuration for any of the following: name, latitude, longitute, elevation, unit_system, temperature_unit, time_zone, external_url, internal_url.

## 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.
