Configuration_glob.yaml issues

Configuration
1

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue getting the configuration_glob to work. I followed the directions on the cookbook, and looked at several other examples yet I cannot figure out for the life of me where I am going wrong.

I believe that I called the configuration_glob.yaml properly:

homeassistant:
customize: !include customize.yaml
customize_glob: !include customize_glob.yaml

My configuration_glob.yaml file looks like:

“automation.b*”
icon: mdi:robot
homebridge_hidden: true
“device_tracker."
icon: mdi:cellphone-link
homebridge_hidden: true
"group.”
icon: mdi:robot
homebridge_hidden: true
“input_*”
icon: mdi:robot
homebridge_hidden: true

The error I get on HA start is:

2017-12-03 09:10:11 ERROR (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.util.yaml] expected ‘’, but found ‘’
in “/config/customize_glob.yaml”, line 2, column 3
2017-12-03 09:10:11 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: expected ‘’, but found ‘’
in “/config/customize_glob.yaml”, line 2, column 3

…and it just hangs there until I comment out configuration_glob.yaml and restart.

I’ve also tried using ’ ’ instead of " ", as I’ve seen some others do with no luck. At this point I am unable to see what I am doing different that any of the examples provided, assuming they work as alleged.

Help!

It would help others evaluate your code if you format it in a code block. Surround your code with three tick marks (use the key to the left of the 1 key on your keyboard). I found it works best to put the three tick marks on a separate line above and below my code. If you do this it will look something like:

#sensor
"sensor.*":
  homebridge_hidden: true
"sensor.arlo_*":
  homebridge_hidden: false
"sensor.dining_room_lights_*":
  hidden: true
"binary_sensor.*":
  homebridge_hidden: true

#climate
"climate.*":
  homebridge_hidden: true

#groups
"group.all_*":
  hidden: true
  homebridge_hidden: true

#automations
"group.automations":
  homebridge_hidden: true
  hidden: true

#devices
"device_tracker.*":
  homebridge_hidden: true

Then we can see your syntax and spacing and better identify possible issues. My questions from what I can see are, why is some text in italic, and is the second line intended?

Here’s my similar configuration.yaml entry:

homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml
  customize_glob: !include customize_glob.yaml

Looks like you’re missing some :'s

“automation.b*”:
