It did not do this before 2024.4. I thought this is a mishap and did not worry about. Now that I am on 2024.7, this has not been fixed. Before, I was able to edit anything in the first screenshot without issue. But as you can see, I am not using the option for brightness with percentage, I am simply using brightness 14 out of 255. Why is Advanced Options turning into YAML? I should be able to come back and add more options from any option. Is this a mishap that will be corrected in 2024.8? It worked before 2024.5 so I am hoping this will be fixed in 2024.8. Thank you all for all you do, loving Home Assistant.:
I recorded a video of the issue I am experiencing.
Keep in mind, this has only been happening since 2024.6. It was not happening on 2024.5. All light bulbs are Innr color bulbs and brightness, color, hue, on/off are all features of the bulb. I did not have the issue until 2024.6 update.
Didn’t watch the entire 10 minute video, but I just created a test automation and didn’t have the issue you’re experiencing (I’m still on 2024.6.2). Have you tried creating a new action from scratch? I know I’ve had random issues in automations before where starting over seemed to remedy rather transient/unreproducible issues.
My issue started with the upgrade to 2024.6. Now I am on 2024.7.3. The Advanced Options feature, to reduce the clutter in the light domain, is awesome. Just FYI, I did try on a new automation, and I get the same issue.
The issue is not killing me, but if I wanted to add additional features under Advanced Options, I will need go to the Light page on the HA site to view the commands there. So, it is not stopping me, and my automations are working. I am not a complete beginner with YAML, but I am underneath Intermediate. But I was wondering why the upgrade to 2024.6 broke the GUI interface. I hope this is fixed on 2024.8. Thank you for looking into this but I did not have this issue with 2024.5, so something broke somewhere.
That’s the thing though, it’s not broken for me, so it seems something unique about your setup. I even added multiple lights (ones with and without the ability to set a brightness level) without any issues.
I just submitted to the GitHub site. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. In the meantime, I am hard coding light entities stuff. Not fun and fun at the same time.
It looks like a known issue and is being work on. Not sure exactly how Github works, but it looks like this was approved and ready for new release, hopefully 2024-10.
