Hello everyone,
I can’t do anything with this error message. I’ve searched the forum but haven’t found anything.
Fehlermeldung:

Logger: homeassistant.config
Source: config.py:982
First occurred: 13:04:56 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 13:04:56

Invalid config for [template]: [template] is an invalid option for [template]. Check: template->template. (See ?, line ?).

Home Assistant runs on Windows, Virtual Box

Home Assistant 2023.2.5
Supervisor 2023.01.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latest

I’m an absolute novice.
I am grateful for any help.

Excuse my Google English

greeting
Wolfgang

Please edit your post and format it correctly:

Post your configuration.yaml again then make sure there is a blank line in the top and bottom.
Then mark the entire text inclusive the two blank lines and click the </> icon in the top of the text editor and then post it.

Next do the same for your template.yaml file.

Better if they edit their post as Tom asked, rather than re-posting it all.

Images of text are a horrible thing, but remove the second line of template.yaml, and remove the first two spaces of every line in that file.

You don’t need (and don’t want) template: in that file, and you’ve got too many spaces. It should look like

# wasserzaehler
sensor:
  name: "Wasserverbrauch_ESP"
  device_class: water

True. I did not see Tom’s suggestion when I posted mine. Guess it was a dirty write. :wink:
