Hi all, an absolute noob here needing help. I have a Broadlink RM4 which is working fine as stand-alone and it is integrated to HA and I have tried to learn the IR codes for my gas heater using the scripting instructions (adding to configuration.yaml) but I keep getting an error when I click ‘CHECK…

Post your yaml as it was when you got the error - it looks like you have and indentation issue but hard to tell or if you did it when commenting out.

Hi, this is exactly what it looks like. Just had the error and copied the contents. Please let me know if it still looks wrong. Thank you so much for helping with this. Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc) default_config: Text to speech tts: platform: google_translat…

Scripts are called manually - from the page I screen shot above, or from within and automation started by a trigger. Have a read of the doco and the included examples - it’s not difficult once you get started. [image] Understanding Automations A breakdown of what an automation consists…
