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:
latitude: 32.87336
longitude: 117.22743
elevation: 430
unit_system: metric
time_zone: America/Los_Angeles
name: Home
whitelist_external_dirs:
- /usr/var/dumping-ground
- /tmp
```
