Help with group yaml

Configuration
#1

I want to thank you all for your help in getting a newbie lile me all set up. Would you help me with one more thing?

I took a stab at setting up lights with some difficulty here is my current yaml.

light:

  • platform: group
    name: bedroom
    entities:
    • light.bedroom_lamp_1
    • light.bedroom_lamp_2

Example configuration.yaml entry

light:

  • platform: group
    name: kitchen_fan
    entities:
    • light.kitchen_fan_1
    • light.kitchen_fan_2
    • light.kitchen_fan_3

Example configuration.yaml entry

light:

  • platform: group
    name: dining_room
    entities:
    • light.dining_room_bulb_1
    • light.dining_room_bulb_2
    • light.dining_room_bulb_3

Example configuration.yaml entry

light:

  • platform: group
    name: front_door
    entities:
    • light.front_door_1
    • light.front_door_2
    • light.front_door_3

When i reloaded the only light group that showed up under entities is front_door, no bedroom, dining, and kitchen. To my untrained eye they all look like the same exact setup. Would anyone please help me fix this?

YAML is spacing sensitive and the manner in which you shared the text is not going to be useful. Try using the “Preformatted text” option to share YAML code.

All four of your light groups should be defined under one light: domain. You have created each one of the four light groups with its own light domain. In other words, each instance of light: is redefining the light groups it contains. Only the last instance of light: (containing front_door) is the one that Home Assistant uses.

Put all four light groups under the one light: domain.

light:
  - platform: group
    name: bedroom
    entities:
      - light.bedroom_lamp_1
      - light.bedroom_lamp_2
  - platform: group
    name: kitchen_fan
    entities:
      - light.kitchen_fan_1
      - light.kitchen_fan_2
      - light.kitchen_fan_3
  - platform: group
    name: dining_room
    entities:
      - light.dining_room_bulb_1
      - light.dining_room_bulb_2
      - light.dining_room_bulb_3
  - platform: group
    name: front_door
    entities:
      - light.front_door_1
      - light.front_door_2
      - light.front_door_3
