Configuration.yaml question nothing is working

When you post configuration to the forum, use the </> code tag to preserve formatting. What you posted above is unreadable without formatting.

If you’re not seeing a log file in the same directory as your YAML, then there’s a problem. Figuring that out is your first step. You may need a clean install. When you get errors, the log will help you find where they are.

Using a good text editor is key. Notepad++ is great if you’re on Windows. YAML cares a lot about indentation. Tabs will break things.

Your formatting for groups is off. Here’s an example from my configuration:

master_bath_lights:
  name: Master Bath Lights
  view: no
  entities:
    - light.master_bath_mirror_lights_level_20_0
    - light.master_bath_shower_spot_level_21_0
    - light.master_bath_ledge_accent_level_22_0
