Input_select was not created

Configuration
1

Hey,

I try to create an input_select helper in my configuration yaml. Even if I tried the example of the documentation.

input_select:
  who_cooks:
    name: Who cooks today
    options:
      - Paulus
      - Anne Therese
    initial: Anne Therese
    icon: mdi:panda

This helper was not created. I have checked the logs. No hint.
What else can I do?

Have you restarted HA?

Any time you add a new file of configuration or add an integration for the first time in YAML, you need to restart… just reloading YAML is not sufficient.

Yes. restarted multiple times. Also tried to leave off the initial and icon section.

4

Try creating it in the UI instead. Create a dropdown helper

How many instances of this key are in your configuration.yaml file? There should only be one.
