Let user .yaml specify timezone
Opened this issue · 3 comments
There's something wrong with my Home Assistant installation, and it refuses to admit that I'm not in timezone "Etc/UTC." So I've had to go through individual esphome device configurations and add my correct timezone to the time:
stanza in the configuration. The problem is that kauf-plug.yaml
doesn't appear to make it easy to override time:
, or better yet provide a timezone in substitutions
that it incorporates into its own time:
statements.
I know I can always grab the whole kauf-plug.yaml
file and build that myself, but it's really nice to have a relatively short customized .yaml
for my own devices that integrates with the unmodified Kauf code.
Please allow users to easily specify a timezone.
esphome/issues#2868 for the underlying issue (which isn't a Kauf issue).
Did you find a solution or do you need me to make a change to the yaml to help you out?
Thanks -- I did figure it out and described the solution in esphome/issues#4157. If you think the request is generally useful for others, then it's at your discretion to leave this issue open. I can see how there could be a proliferation of one-off substitutions that would eventually defeat the purpose of all the structure you've put into kauf-plug.yaml
, so I also understand why you might prefer to close this issue without implementing it. Either way, thanks.
