Settings

Settings are where Toposync exposes runtime configuration, installed extension panels, integrations, and advanced operational controls.

The exact panels depend on the installed bundle. The default installation shows the core product areas and first-party extension settings. Optional extensions can add more panels.

What belongs in settings

Common settings areas include:

  • access and authentication;
  • Home Assistant connection details;
  • camera discovery and source management;
  • streaming runtime configuration when streaming is installed;
  • vision model diagnostics and runtime information;
  • processing server registration;
  • extension-specific options.

For configuration keys, ports, environment variables, and file locations, use the Reference section.

Be careful with advanced settings

During Alpha Early Access, prefer changing settings through the UI or documented API flows.

Manual edits to the data directory can be useful for recovery, but they can also break pipeline graphs, extension settings, or auth state if the JSON shape is wrong.

Home Assistant OS add-on

When running inside Home Assistant OS, some behavior is controlled by the add-on configuration rather than the in-app settings page.

Use the add-on documentation for ingress, direct access, ports, and supervised operation:

Troubleshooting

If a setting does not appear, confirm that the related extension is installed and loaded in /api/extensions.

If a change does not seem to apply, restart the Toposync server after saving and check the logs for extension startup errors.
