Configuration HA Error

Configuration
1

I have the following error and can not figure it out. Invalid config for [alarm_control_panel]: required key not provided @ data[‘platform’]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 239).

I answered this exact same question for you like a fortnight ago, and the answer is still exactly the same now as it was then.

3

I’m sorry but being a newbie can you link me to where I would what to do next?

Thank you,

4

Short of coming around to your house and typing automation: above your automations (below your alarm control panel configuration) I don’t really know what else I can do for you tbh.

5

I skimmed through your configuration.yaml file. Lots of binary_sensors, groups, mqtt, node-red, zwave, and more!

Nope, sorry. Unless someone else created the config file for you, you’re no longer eligible to use “newbie” as an excuse.

:wink:

6

Thanks for letting me love past the Newbie Level. Been watching tons of videos and working through what they are showing.

7

Thanks, I may be able to handle that. Cant believe how long I have been working on this, thought it was a formatting problem.

I’ve just realised that you have a linked file for automations, so your options are:

  • Comment out the line automation: !include automations.yaml if you’re not using it and add automation: above your automations after your alarm config

  • cut and paste the automations out of the configuration.yaml and in to the automations.yaml

  • leave the include line and put automation 2: above your automations after your alarm config
