Notifications Alert

good morning guys, ever since i upgraded my HA instance to 0.88, i kept getting this notification alert every time i restarted HA.
notification_alert
Anybody have an idea on how i can go about fixing that.

Somewhere in your configuration files you have configured several components with an option called flash. It is not a valid option.

Search through your configuration files and delete the lines containing the flash option.

You can use a Linux command to recursively search through all configuration files for the word flash. Ensure you are located in the configuration directory when executing this command:

grep -rni "flash"

most likely one of your lights has this as an option
I used to have flash: true in my config which generated the same errors you reported
Take that line out

ok guys and thank you for your reply; i will take another look.

I have the same message every time I restart my hass.io after 0.88. Did a search in the IDE add-on.

Nothing here tells me that there is anything wrong in my configuration. Any ideas?

can you post the content of /config/esphome/ATC1.yaml (remove any credentials if you have any)
the issue won’t be with the *.ini files

Also how did you add ESPHome to your hass.io? Did you use an add on (https://esphome.io/guides/getting_started_hassio.html) or did you do it manually?

Sure :slight_smile:
ESPHome is installed with the official add-on, current official release as well.

I’ve this multi-sensor configured with esphome in HA, somehow esphome set the “icon” option to " icon: mdi:flash" in the light brightness section.

Here’s my config.

I had flash: true on some MQTT lights, but removed it, and still get the error message, just without a line reference to my lights config.

I also haven’t been able to figure out what is causing it

I also use esphome so wonder if it is related to that

possibly, I don’t use ESPHome (yet)…
