Thx in forehand.

my guess is that you need to quote the offset so that the :'s do not confuse the yaml parser.

offset: '-01:00:00'

Maybe you can post your config file as well as the error, so we can have a look.

The offset are in ‘’ but the config validation removed it. As i understand the “automation.yaml:6” says, that there is an error on line 6. So here the first lines of my file:

############################################################################
#
# Sonnenuntergang
#
############################################################################

- alias: Beleuchtung eine Stunde vor Sonnenuntergang
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: '-01:00:00'
  condition:
condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: 'home'
  action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.steckdose_dioder_switch_5_0

The error message at config validation:

hass@hass:~/.homeassistant$ hass --script check_config

I’ll hope that helps.

Indenting is very important in yaml files

############################################################################
#
# Sonnenuntergang
#
############################################################################

- alias: Beleuchtung eine Stunde vor Sonnenuntergang
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
    offset: '-01:00:00'
  condition:
  condition: state
    entity_id: group.all_devices
    state: 'home'
  action:
    service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.steckdose_dioder_switch_5_0

I think I have it correct above.
