Automations using front-end | How to use?

Configuration
1

Can’t get the front-end automations editor to work in 0.47.1 using Chrome. Anyone got any feedback on what I’m doing wrong?

2

Only works in Chrome from memory

3

Yep, video was made using Chrome hence the question.

Sure would be nice to get a resolution to this question. I’ve got the same issue and no one has been forthcoming with a solution.

5

Agreed. Seems a little odd. A screenshot would be nice from someone who has it working.

here is mine and it seems to work… i am also looking to add a time piece to the automation but it says it not supported… so how do I add a condition that says if below the numeric value x is for 10 mins then do the action

  • action:
    • alias: switch
      data:
      entity_id: switch.upstairs_workout_switch
      service: switch.turn_on
      alias: New Automation
      id: ‘1499093998881’
      trigger:
    • above: ‘0’
      entity_id: sensor.vision_zp3102_pir_motion_sensor_burglar
      platform: numeric_state
  • action:
    • data:
      entity_id: switch.upstairs_workout_switch
      service: switch.turn_off
      alias: Turn Off
      id: ‘1499107409191’
      trigger:
    • below: ‘8’
      entity_id: sensor.vision_zp3102_pir_motion_sensor_burglar
      platform: numeric_state

If I haven’t missed an update, conditions are not yet supported in the ui automation editor.

Did you add this using the front-end editor and can you edit it there?

9

No that is the file that is created when you use the front end… I did not do any importing of any old automation file. I still am trying to figure out how to do other items that are not supported on the front end… items like conditions… they say is not supported… can you have old and new automation on the .yaml file together? and if so i see that the old automation fromat is different then the new…

Carterblumeyer is correct. Where’s an example of existing automations that can be edited?? I’ve asked this question since the feature has been introduced and I haven’t received an answer. Home Assistant is great and I’m glad it controls everything under the planet, but boy, trying to get a specific question answered from Forums can be… trying.

It might be a bit late. But I think you’re having this issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/8334

Add to your configuration.yaml the line

Never too late. Thank you!!! Can’t believe it was that easy. I can now edit my Automation’s in Hassbian. :hugs:
