Help with automation.yaml

tim.hermsen88 · August 9, 2017, 6:00am

Hi there guys,

Goodmorning from the Netherlands.
Small question, since the last update to 0.50.2 my automations dont work anymore.

Now i,am kinda new here and i cannot figure it out how the new automations work.

Is any of you willing to help me change the file so it will work again.

I only have a couple of automations nothing big.

see my automations here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5PoHcM4GtA2Zmx3Tk1wYTh0STQ

And off-course the rror log it’s a big one: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5PoHcM4GtA2NW5UOG1rbDZWRTg

Hello,

When I use an extended automation.yaml.
I need to add - id: idname
Here an example, maybe it will help you.

- id: lights_off_when_000
  alias: 'when its 0:00 turn off the lights'
  trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: '00:00:00'
  action:
  - service: light.turn_off
    data:
      entity_id: light.pa_kamer

tim.hermsen88 · August 9, 2017, 8:57am

It did something lot less orrors.

I,am at work now so have to show the error log later on the day.

If anybody has more idea’s please tell me

BendedArrow · August 9, 2017, 12:16pm

after: sunset

This is no longer used. It needs to be “at: sunset”

Look at Breaking Changes here: 0.50: Voice control, History improvements, and Xiaomi - Home Assistant

Still from the breaking changes link. state: in triggers becomes to:
Just a general recommendation. Every new release brings some breaking change. Read through all the release notes and pay special attention to breaking changes. There will almost always be some. If you only update occasionally, go back and read the breaking changes for the updates you missed.

Remove the lines data: and line up the entity_id: lines with the service: lines that preceed them.

tim.hermsen88 · August 9, 2017, 8:06pm

Post the actual config as it is now?

I would guess you have some random whitespace somewhere (a tab where there should be some spaces, or something similar)

This is the actual config:
