Configuration validation hangs if there are capital letters in entities names

Configuration
1

It would be great to add a proper error message if there are capital letters in entities names in the config files.

As now config validation just hangs silently if there are something like “group.LivingLights:” in the scene files. The reboot button stops to work after that too.

I’ve updated my HA to v106.2 after long time, and you won’t believe how long it took to figure out the issue.

Capital letters haven’t been allowed for a long tine.

See here. As Nick said, this has been the case for a long time, many years at least.

Of course, somebody should open a feature request about that :wink:
