Failed to initiate automation when HA starts with strange error log

Configuration

Hi there. There was a power outage this morning and my HA server restarted. However, an error popped up related to automation, and all my automation disappeared. May I ask for any hint where to look at? Thanks!

Have you written any automations in YAML files rather than the UI? Perhaps check those are up to date with the new syntax:

triggers:
  - trigger:

conditions:
  - condition:

actions:
  - action:

The conditions header used to be condition: — which should still work but looks like it may be causing a problem in your situation.

Thanks I do have a bunch of YAML automations, and most of them are using condition:. Not sure if that’s causing the problem but will bisect and find out what’s wrong.
