Help finding cause of error in Log

Configuration
1

Hi, can someone please help. I get the following error on startup but it doesn’t really help me to find where it is.

I presume its an error with a script but how can I identify which script it relates to?

I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Invalid config for [script]: value must be one of [‘brightness_decrease’, ‘brightness_increase’, ‘flash’, ‘toggle’, ‘turn_off’, ‘turn_on’] for dictionary value @ data[‘type’]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 81).

What happened at 10:54:57? Can you see something related in the logbook?

Can’t find anything in logbook at that exact time. However I think that is when Home Assistant started

How many scripts do you have? In doubt, you have to go through them. :neutral_face:

I have quite a few scripts. Will I need to go through them all :frowning:

I wish home assistant gives better clues to where these errors might be.

I agree so much. Alternatively, you wait until the error message appears again.

I can do but this error and message appears everytime home assistant starts. Is there no other tools I can use to inspect maybe my scripts to see which is causing the error?

8

Maybe Watchman, but I’m not really sure. Can you narrow it down by searching for scripts that handle a light action?

Thanks so much for the headsup with Watchman, I was able to find a script that was in the YAML scripts file but not in the UI. So very strange, but atleast I was able to find the orphaned script.

Glad to hear!
