Automation doesn't exsist in either automations.yaml or configuration.yaml but still automates!

Configuration

Hi

I have a really strange issue that an automation is running even though it isn’t in either of the yaml files. It has been appended with the number 2. As though it is a duplicate, but reloading, rebooting and everything else I have tried doesn’t stop the automation running.

It isn’t present in either the gui view or the 2 yaml files (configuration and automation) but it is present in the logbook where I found it kept turning my fan off! However if I click the automation name it does nothing!

Where else or what else can I check?

Thank you

Do a search on all your .yaml files. If you have samba installed, agent ransack is a good tool for that. It probably is in a package. (Packages can contain automations too !)

Another place to look would be the Dev Tools>States & search “automation.”. If it’s listed you can edit it or disable it from there too.

Or maybe it comes from Node-red ??

I had similar issue - very troubling. Nothing in configuration.yaml, nothing in automations.yaml.
After several days found out that Hue bridge had some old sunrise/sunset automations controlling few units that were unused for a long time :laughing:

Sorry to revive this topic, but I have the very same issue and no solution yet.

I can find the automation in the developer tools and disable it.
however, I cannot delete it.
when trying to edit it, HA asks me to migrate it from yaml to UI, which I did. (and it shows up in yaml as well)
After that, I deleted it from the UI and it disappeared from yaml as well.
However, it still can be found in the Dev tools.

so how to get rid of this zombie once and for all?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
