Invalid config and unable to restart server

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I am fairly new to the world of Home Assistant, just got everything set up on my Raspberry Pi 4 how I wanted it and then have run into a config issue where I am unable to restart my Pi from the frontend. I am seeing this in the logs:

2020-05-17 16:30:05 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error executing service: <ServiceCall homeassistant.restart (c:912713c2e38847ddb1573d8012b6c4c8)>

    v = func(v)

    f"Unexpected value for {key}: '{key_value}'. Expected {', '.join(value_schemas)}"
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, NoneType found

I understand the basic error message at the bottom but I’m not sure where to look for the issue. A quick look through my config files doesn’t throw up anything obvious.

Anyone seen this or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

If you go to configuration -> server controls -> check configuration, what do you get ?

Just a spinning loading circle. Then the logs show this:

I have the same issue since a couple of days/weeks… must be some update that caused this.

Yes, I’m still seeing this too. No idea what is causing it. I’ve found restarting via SSH works
