Hi everyone. I am a new user, but I have managed to get Hassio up and running. I am now at the point where I am trying to put pictures to people. I understand the format for the customize.yaml, but I cannot get my configuration.yaml to accept it. When I check my config this is the error I get:
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here
in “/config/customize.yaml”, line 5, column 17
I have pursued the internet and these forums and have discovered two solutions:
This causes an error on line 5 of my configuration.yaml regardless of where I locate it (top, bottom, middle, even placed it on line 5). Because of the error I did further research. The documents say these lines need to be added depending on the age of your install (I am at the latest).
The second solution is similar to the first, but it does not have “homeassistant:”
2. Add the customize line in the configuration.yaml
customize: !include customize.yaml
This causes the exact same error on my check of the configuration.yaml as the first. Again I added it to every section of the configuration.yaml to try to get away from the line 5 error, but nothing worked.
What am I missing? Do I need to program the pictures in the configuration.yaml instead of the customize.yaml? Is there a better solution of fix I haven’t been able to find? Please point me in the right direction
Yes, thank you, the customize.yaml exists. Currently line five is in relation to default_config, but I have moved the lines around throughout the configuration.yaml and I still get an error on line 5.
When HA reads that file, it expands out things that are “included”. It could be failing on default_config: after it’s “expanded” so it could be one of those things.
