Can't get Alert to work

Configuration
1

Hi All

Please help. Whatever I do I can’t get Alerts integration to work.

I have this added into configuration.yaml:

alert:
  water_leak_sensor_alert:
    name: Water leak detected
    done_message: No more leaking in the Kitchen.
    entity_id: binary_sensor.kitchen_water_leak_sensor
    state: 'on'
    can_acknowledge: true
    message: "Alarm! Water is leaking in the Kitchen!"
    notifiers:
      - mobile_app_iphone_xs

But whatever I do I get:

Configuration invalid
Invalid config for [alert]: required key not provided @ data['alert']['water_leak_sensor_alert']['repeat']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 213).

Even the example from Docs copy/pasted in config with changed entity and notifier gives me this.

Says repeat is required. Try adding that.

These things are so frustrating… thank you @popboxgun

I wonder why it didn’t work when when I just copy/pasted the example entry from docs…

That example had repeat in it.
