Can you provide the config? At least the automation that was added when the error started being reported.

if i cut it wood be easy ,so you are saying i have to delete automation one by one until the fault isent there anymore thats the way

I assumed that the error would have started after you added one or two automations.

If you have no idea which one is the cause, you can work fastest by commenting out or deleting half of the automations. If they load, you can uncomment/add half of the deleted back. If they don’t load, you can swap the commented/deleted with the others and so on.

thanks a lot for the help i`m new at this and no programmer at all
you say “commenting out” how is this done i can find out that a # does something to a line but
how do i do it to a lot of lines ?

Placing a # before every line unfortunately.

Depends on which editor you are using. For some you highlight the block you want to comment out and press Ctrl and /
