I am getting configuration warning at line 0 and for empty line. Really not understanding whats going wrong here…
Any help is highly appreciated…
Hi,
for samsungtv you specified the key view which is not allowed as per the component docs
for file there is no key scan_interval given in the component docs
That is exactly what the errors were pointing to. Reading errors is not “rocket science” people!
I am surprised how much a newbie like be can help people here when I should be learning.
That’s what I thought too but was told scan_interval is a property common to all platforms that support polling (by flabaff in this post).
For example, there’s no mention of scan_interval for System Monitor yet I was told that it supports polling. The default scan_interval is 30 seconds and you can override it by specifying a different value.
I think I’d prefer to see scan_interval explicitly mentioned in a component’s documentation (if it is supported buy the component). At the moment, some component’s have it documented and others don’t … but the ones that don’t might actually support it if they can do polling. Ouch! I don’t know if File Sensor can do polling therefore I don’t know if it supports scan_interval.
I have already checked for “scan_interval” , and removing it, is not helping. Surprisingly line number where failure is pointed out, is the empty line number. So I did further trial and error in this particular file. And to surprise me, failure was on line no. 38 (although log file was pointing to line 33). If I remove “name” then warning is disappeared. I was under the impression that “name” is supported for all components lke “scan_interval”
For “samsungtv”, you were absolutely right. Looks like I was completly focused on other error, and I missed to remove the “view”…
No, not to my knowledge (for example, template sensors don’t use name). Also, to be precise, scan_interval is not supported by all components, just the ones that support polling. The other documented common option is entity_namespace (see Entity component platform options). In my case, I’ve never encountered a need to use it.
