hey,i have encounter a problem!
i use the automation editor to create an automation,but it still shows invalid config,plz help me with this!
- id: '1548077128573' alias: Open light at night trigger: - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0001e15654 from: 'off' to: 'on' condition: - condition: sun after: sunset before: sunrise action: - service: switch.turn_on data: entity_id: switch.light1 - delay: '00:01:00' - service: switch.turn_off data: entity_id: switch.light1
For one, you need to format your code for the forum. Look at the blue box at the top of the page.
Second, what SPECIFICALLY does the error message say? This is important information.
sorry about my code format
the error message just shows invalid config in the web，the log shows nothing，because i use the automation editor generate this code
It has to show something. It doesn’t just say ‘invalid’ without information about the line/character/entity
that is what confused me!
i upload 2 pictures
this picture show no issues!
But did you go into the configuration pages and check the config?
yes i checked the configuration pages,still no error
Your code is still improperly formatted for yaml.
Is this EXACTLY as it looks in your config?
You ran the code checker on it??
this is exactly as it looks in my config.
Then this is the problem. Your yaml is incorrectly spaced
look this link: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/editor/
the code here:
# Example automations.yaml entry
- id: my_unique_id # <-- Required for editor to work.
alias: Hello world
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sun.sun
from: below_horizon
to: above_horizon
condition:
- condition: numeric state
entity_id: sensor.temperature
above: 17
below: 25
value_template: '{{ float(state.state) + 2 }}'
action:
- service: light.turn_on
the demo shows the same space
That’s not the same as your config you posted.
my mistake when paste the code,
now it looks the same,right?
What about the automation section in your configuration yaml?
