Hey all,
Recently, I've been working to install a few custom integrations (namely hp ILO), however, both required me to install Nano to edit the configuration.yaml file. I've edited the file in this format, but have not noticed any changes, did I do something wrong with the formatting or syntax? let me know, and I do apologize for any cringe/dissapointment you may face with this post, as I am new to Home Assistant.

You have some random indentation toward the bottom

#

Please share text rather than images

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

And you should check your configuration in devtools -> YAML and you need to restart HA to load the new config

#

But revisit your indentation. It's important

If it doesn't belong there, sure

You need to start with what you actually need

#

You have a tab. No tabs

#

Only spaces

ok, looks like we should be good

unless this was about the indentation

You added stuff to that file. Did you need it?

#

yeah that was leftover from a pste, should I remove it entirely?

#

🤷

You tell me
