Groups - Broken After Update

[TheOne007 (Leigh)]

Good Day All,

After an update of HA I seem to be having an issue with my configuration file. I get a notification that tells me that groups could not be set up.

This is an issue as i’m sure most of you know. I have not changed anything on the config file or the groups file. Also, I have my groups file as its own file and in the config file i tell HA to “include Groups.yaml”. This has always worked until i did an update. Now it does not.

here is the error in the log.

Based on this it looks like i need to change something in my groups.yaml file but im not sure. Maybe something about the view statement?

Does anyone know of similar issues and possibly how to fix them? I usually try to stay on top of updates but after this i’ll probably update every 3 months or so to avoid these potential issues in the future.

Thanks guys…

Yes, your groups.yaml file contains some configuration options that were deprecated ~6 months ago and then removed for good in 0.107 which causes the invalid config.

Open your groups.yaml file and look for any lines that contain view: true and remove those, they are no longer used. There’s other options you should remove as well, there’s a full list here.
