Automations cannot be created in the frontend and do not work

Hello everyone,

I’m using Home Assistant version 2024.6.4 and unfortunately I can’t create any working automations via Settings > Automations. I can open the configuration menu via “Create automation” and can also set everything. However, when I click on “Save” at the end, assign a name and save again, the new automation is not displayed in the frontend.

What happens is that it creates something in automations.yaml. But the automation is still not executed.

Is there any idea how I can approach the problem? Can I reset anything to reset the “automation module”? I don’t have any automations running at the moment, so resetting this part of HA wouldn’t be a problem.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Do you have:

default_config:

or some form of:

automation:

In your configuration.yaml file?
