Home Assistant 2022.9.1 - Helpers - Schedule crashed or bug?

1

Hi there,

I was playing around with a new Helper Schadule in Home Assistant 2022.9.1. I create and delete a couple of them and they worked just fine.
But now it looks like I cant create a new one at all. I get this error message:

*Overlapping times found in schedule for dictionary value @ data['thursday']. Got [{'from': '2:00', 'to': '5:00'}, {'from': '2:30', 'to': '5:00'}, {'from': '1:30', 'to': '6:00'}, {'from': '2:30', 'to': '5:00'}] Overlapping times found in schedule for dictionary value @ data['wednesday']. Got [{'from': '03:00:00', 'to': '05:00:00'}, {'from': '07:00:00', 'to': '11:30:00'}, {'from': '1:30', 'to': '4:00'}, {'from': '1:30', 'to': '4:00'}, {'from': '2:00', 'to': '3:00'}, {'from': '2:00', 'to': '5:00'}]*

The calendar week view is empty. I deleted all other Schadule helpers and also reboot the HA.
After dragging time slot it will not stay on the Schadule page and will disappear if I try to add another one.

I’m not sure how to go about al this and I’m also new to Home Assistant.

Hi there,

I have the same issue. Reverted back to the 2022.9.0 and the scheduler reproducing the same issue (calendar week view empty and impossible to add dates).
The schedules that I created prior are still working though.

Thanks,

I have exactly the same issue.

same problem.

Same here as well. Also when trying to add multiple time slots on different days. Only able to choose one.

6

Same issue. All automations depending that new helper are useless. Hope it will be fixed soon.

I have the same problem, i created a weekly schedule with 2022.9.0 version and it stll schedules the automation in the correct timeline but when i try to modify it, all fields are not showing. I changed different browser but the problem is the same also with companion app.

I found the same problem as @Yoinkz with not being able to select multiple times/days when creating via the UI. I ended up just creating my schedule using YAML directly in my configuration.yaml.

Hello Timnolte,
Could you give an example of your schedule using the Configuration.yaml?
I guess you cannot use it as helper, can you?

Thx,

@k2vintout here is my YAML for the schedule I created in the configuration.yaml.

And yes this will still show up as a helper and can be used in an automation. I have done it like so:

platform: state
entity_id:
  - schedule.pool_pump_schedule
from: "off"
to: "on"
id: pool-pump-scheduled-run

Manually adding schedules to the configuration.yaml is documented here:

There was an update to Home Assistant (2022.9.2) today, after this update I could use the schedule as intended.

Hi,
I had the same problem yesterday, even beeing on 2022.9.2
Today it miraculously works as expected.
The same problems with the date/time helper which also works a day later.

Is it possible it needs to be installed a day before you can use it? (Just a guess)
There is at least something fishy going on there.
Cheers

Indeed, after upgrading to 2022.9.2 it didn’t work but it looks like working one again … strang.

Usually you get a notification about UI updates that require a refresh, I wonder if there was some issue with that perhaps. Now I have to figure out how to manage migrating my manual schedule from the configuration.yaml back into to the UI management. :man_shrugging:

15

I’m on 2022.9.4 and the helper I created on an earlier version (not sure which one) is working in my automation, but when I open it in the UI it just shows an empty schedule instead of the actual time slots I set up. Hence I can’t modify it.

If I try to create a new one I get the same error message as the original post in this thread by Unisubzero.

Just thought I’d chime in with the same issue here but also running Home Assistant 2022.9.6. I can create new helpers and although the UI elements disappear as soon as I create them, the resulting schedule is functional (and uneditable, or at least it doesn’t seem that I can remove unseen from/to definitions). I also have this happening in the UI via Chrome & HA app on Android.

Looking forward to a fix! This scheduler helper is already pretty powerful, and one day when it has attributes or custom states, that will be a game changer for a number of my complex scheduling automations.

I currently have the same issue, too on the latest version.

I can’t help but notice that all issue reports on this thread were on a sunday. Maybe this is a problem with the UI where it does not work specifically on sundays?

18

It’s a bug i guess: Scheduler not adjustable · Issue #13865 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub

I think I found something interesting in a debug session today:

New entries in the calendar are set outside the calendar visible period!
