0.86 Notify Problem

After updating to 0.86 my notifications not working. Got this error message:

`Invalid config for [automation]: Service notify.TELEGRAM does not match format <domain>.<name> for dictionary value @ data['action'][0]['service']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 138). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/automation/`

This is how my action is configured in the automations.yaml file:

- service: notify.TELEGRAM
  data:
   message: ALARM WURDE AUSGELÖST!!!

try notify.telegram

all of your yaml files should be in lower case. The one exception is when a state has a capital. There is a difference between on and On when automations are checking the state.

you saved my day! Thanks

this wasnt an issue before - so should be a breaking change? wanted to check if anyone else had the same problem before I submit an issue

I’m having the same issue after updating with Pushbullet. Although doing lower case hasn’t helped. I will retry again from scratch and see if it works. Definitely wasn’t an issue before 0.86.

I had the same problem upgrading from 0.85.1 to 0.86.3, with lower case I solved.
Thanks!

Same here (for pushbullet)

Same here with 0.86.4.

  • service: notify.(TELEGRAM)–>this is my bot name with telegram don´t go
    data:
    message: ALARM WURDE AUSGELÖST!!!
    I have returned to 0.84.1 and all it is OK as before

I’ve just had this happen to me.

In fairness, the example on the HA website offers

notify.NOTIFIER_NAME

With no indication that capitals are unacceptable and that this won’t actually work. the error message sent me looking in the wrong place, too: this has nothing to do with the <domain>.<name> format.

Submit a pull request to modify that page please!

Both my notification and my call used identical case, but it didn’t work. I changed to lowercase and all is now well.

I’ve got no idea what that means, but here’s the page implying that capitals are just fine.

The docs need to be updated on this ASAP!
