Input_datetime multiple sensors

Configuration
1

Need a little help. I was running Home Assistant Core 0.104.3 (Hass.io) and had two input_datetime sensors which were working fine.

I decided to upgrade to 0.106.1. I ran the Check Home Assistant configuration add-in and it identified an issue with how my zone was configured. I fixed that, reran and it said no error found! :slight_smile:

I upgraded to 0.106.1 but keep getting errors saying input_datetime platform can’t be loaded.

I checked Developer Tools - States and it appears my first input_datetime is loading, but my second one isn’t. I compared my yaml to the docs but I don’t see the issue.

Here is my yaml:

input_datetime:
  backyard_floodlight_reset_time:
    name: Backyard Floodlights Reset Time
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
    initial: 00:30
  afternoon_lights_on_time:
    name: Afternoon Lights On Time
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
    initial: 13:00

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

0.104.3 wanted quotes around the names, but 0.105.X and 0.106.X doesn’t like the quotes.

As always, thank you in advance.

My bet is quotes around time (i.e initial)

That looks to be it. Thank you!

Such a simple fix. :flushed:

You need to be really careful with YAML. : is a separator so if you want it to be a part of your value you should preserve it by quoting.
