Thanks! That was the key piece of info I didn’t see on the docs page linked to (although I’m sure it’s on another page, I just hadn’t seen yet).
It looks like my (default) configuration.yaml is a bit different as you mentioned, just linking in a number of other files including automation.yaml:
# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
# Text to speech
tts:
- platform: google_translate
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
Currently my automation.yaml looks like this:
- id: '1602321233356'
alias: Good morning
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time
at: 06:00
condition: []
action:
- scene: scene.room1_lights_on
mode: single
It doesn’t have any “service” or “data” sections. I tried adding “transition: 60” after the scene statement, ie:
action:
- scene: scene.zachary_s_lights_on
transition: 60
mode: single
…and after the trigger time:
trigger:
- platform: time
at: 06:00
transition: 60
condition: []
…and at the end after the mode:
mode: single
transition: 60
…but when I save and choose “Reload automations”, all of these give me a notification that I have an error, and my automation disappears from the Automations GUI.
My automations.yaml file doesn’t have a data/service section, so I’m not sure if this format is deprecated and the docs haven’t been updated, or if I should be changing the format of my automations.yaml file to match… or possibly I should be adding the transition key to another file? (scenes.yaml?)
On a side note, thank you for being an exemplary role model for the community, by being welcoming and patient with a new community member who is trying to ask for help in the right way, but is still learning.
I hope to be equally helpful to other people here when I’ve learned enough to do so!
