Home Assistant is a pretty powerful platform to build your smart home on. But in some ways, it is not all that user-friendly to those used to doing everything with an app on their phone.

In fact, at times it can be a bit maddening. For example, in many of the integrations, the documentation says you need to make changes directly to the configuration.YAML file. But in a fresh install of Home Assistant, there is no access to the configuration.YAML file.

So in this video, we are going to cover two ways to access those files.
