The `filesize` sensor is for displaying the size in MB of a file.
|
|
|
|
<div class='note'>
|
|
|
|
File paths must also be added to [whitelist_external_dirs](/docs/configuration/basic/) in your `configuration.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the `filesize` sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: filesize
|
|
file_paths:
|
|
- /config/home-assistant_v2.db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
file_paths:
|
|
description: The absolute path to the file.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: list
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
