Group not showing all entities on UI

Configuration
1

I have some template lights configured to change switches to lights. However those template lights are not showing in the group I defined. So for whatever reason template lights are not being displayed in the Home or Living Room tabs.

From configuration.yaml:

`light:

  • platform: template
    lights:
    sitting_room_1:
    friendly_name: ‘Sitting Room Lights’
    value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.00200388a020a6352504.state }}’
    turn_on:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352504
    turn_off:
    service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352504

light:

  • platform: template
    lights:
    mantel_light:
    friendly_name: ‘Mantel Lights’
    value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.00200388a020a6352c32.state }}’
    turn_on:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352c32
    turn_off:
    service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352c32

light:

  • platform: template
    lights:
    fish_light:
    friendly_name: ‘Fish Room Lights’
    value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.wemo.state }}’
    turn_on:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.wemo
    turn_off:
    service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.wemo`

The way you’ve defined them they are overwriting each other so you only get one, should be:

light:
  platform: template
  lights:
    sitting_room_1:
      friendly_name: ‘Sitting Room Lights’
      value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.00200388a020a6352504.state }}’
      turn_on:
        service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352504
      turn_off:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352504
    mantel_light:
      friendly_name: ‘Mantel Lights’
      value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.00200388a020a6352c32.state }}’
      turn_on:
        service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352c32
      turn_off:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.00200388a020a6352c32
    fish_light:
      friendly_name: ‘Fish Room Lights’
      value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.wemo.state }}’
      turn_on:
        service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.wemo
      turn_off:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.wemo

Thank you, that fixed it. I should have noticed that I was defining multiple light sections.
