Notifiy/SMTP not working after upgrade to 0.86.3

Hi there,

I have an error occuring since I upgraded to 0.86.3 that I do not understand:
Invalid config for [automation]: Service notify.HAMail does not match format <domain>.<name> for dictionary value @ data[‘action’][0][‘service’]. Got None. (See /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml, line 61). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/automation/

If I remove automations with the notification everything passes tha check… The action in question is

  - service: notify.HAMail
    data:
      title: 'DWD weather alert'
      message: 'DWD weather alert'

notify.HAMail is defined in the configuration.yaml and worked before. Anyone with similar problems or an idea how to fix it?

try writing it like this, in lower case.

  - service: notify.hamail
    data:
      title: 'DWD weather alert'
      message: 'DWD weather alert'

Thank you very much!
I would never have guessed that uppercase names would be the problem!

I changed everything to lowercase (config and automations), all errors are gone…

Always read the release notes.

It specifically states no uppercase entity ids.

Ah sh*t, I read it, but the underscore distracted me from the capital letters. Thanks!
