Home Assistant up and running - no errors, but Discovery not working

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

I’ve just set up Home Assistant on my Synology DS214. It’s an older model, and I can’t use Docker so I had to set it up manually. It seems to be running fine, with no errors in my log.

When I load the HASS GUI though, it tells me that Discovery isn’t working:

Invalid config
The following components and platforms could not be set up:

discovery

Please check your config

But, I’ve got no errors in my error log. I’m not heaps skilled with Linux, but as far as I can tell I’m reading the log correctly:

Is anyone able to offer any advice? I can post my YAML if needed.

Thanks!

Edit configuration.yaml and comment out (stick a # before) the discovery: line.

It’s possible you’re missing a library, but discovery is only a convenience factor, you can manually configure all components anyway.
