Configurator in the Home Assistant Frontend

About

The File editor, formerly known as Configurator, is a small web-app (you access it via web browser) that provides a filesystem-browser and text-editor to modify files on the machine the File editor is running on.

It is powered by Ace editor, which supports syntax highlighting for various code/markup languages. YAML files (the default language for Home Assistant configuration files) will be automatically checked for syntax errors while editing.

Features

  • Web-based editor to modify your files with syntax highlighting and YAML linting.
  • Upload and download files.
  • Stage, stash and commit changes in Git repositories, create and switch between branches, push to remotes, view diffs.
  • Lists with available entities, triggers, events, conditions and services.
  • Restart Home Assistant directly with the click of a button. Reloading groups, automations, etc. can be done as well. An API password is required.
  • Direct links to Home Assistant documentation and icons.
  • Execute shell commands within the add-on container.
  • Editor settings are saved in your browser.
  • And much more…
