How to create the config.js file?

[MaartenDrenth]

Could you explain in detail how to do this?

Create the configuration file named config.js in your HAOS /config/addons/ folder.

I do not know where to do this. Sorry.

Hey Maarten,

1) you can run the json-live-data-server on its own, wherever you want OR you use the Add-on resol-vbus. The addon resol-vbus is only a wrapper to run json-live-data-server within the home Assistant ecosystem.

2) you need to create that file within the path specified. Just follow the documentation I wrote: https://github.com/dm82m/hassio-addons/tree/main/resol-vbus

There is also a sample config file. Use that and modifiy it for your needs. Specific questions about configuration are better be placed here as they belong to the json-live-data-server as you already did: https://github.com/danielwippermann/resol-vbus/issues/100

The file needs to be placed onto your home Assistant system into the directory named. If you do not know how to do that, I strongly suggest to get more familiar with Home Assistant. https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/

Best, Dirk

Hi Dirk

Thanks.

I think indeed that my main problem is that I'm not familiair enough with HA. 😟 Even going through all the explanations on github I just can't figure out where I can find the /config/addons/ folder so I can update/create the config file.

I'm using Home Assistant Core and Studio Code Server. If you have a golden tip about where to find information about this it would be much appreciated. As far as I can see now this is my only blockingpoint to continue. The add-on, haccs and json dat server part are done... I think 🤨

Thanks!

If you find the configuration.yaml in studio code server, just create the addons folder in the same location and put the config file into the addons folder

the config folder is the one that contains configuration.yaml

[MaartenDrenth]

thanks again

it "sounds" so easy but I realy do not iunderstand it at all 😣 Normally I can find some tutorials on Youtube or one of the forums but now no examples at all.

How does one actually access these folders? I cant find it in the menus and the HAOSS command line is utterly mysterious to me, and I say that as someone who was coding on BSD minicomputers in the 90s. It aint linux like I've ever seen.

There are multiple ways, depending on the installation type you chosed:

In case you are using Home Assistant Core only, you could install HACS (https://hacs.xyz/docs/setup/download) and install a integration like this: https://github.com/htmltiger/config-editor-card

In case you are using Home Assistant OS, you could install the "File Editor" Addon: https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/configurator Or alternatively you could install the SSH Addon (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-ssh) and use a sshto connect to the HAOS instance and do the config by command line. Or use a graphical ftp client to modify the config files. Or alternatively you could install the Studio Code Server Addon (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-vscode) to edit the files.

As I said earlier: you guys are missing some essential understanding of Home Assistant and all the stuff around. Its understandable to me that you then have difficulties to get everything up and running.
