[Please Help] Need someone to review my configuration.yaml maybe other .yamls

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello everyone, HA newbie and first time poster. I was hoping someone more experienced could spot my mistake and point me in the right direction. I started a couple weeks ago and slowly added things. I thought things were working but I realized today that they are not completely. My frontend loads and I can switch the switches and that stuff works but all of the info displayed must be from a week or so ago. Lots of changes since then and I’m not sure what happened. Any changes I make to the groups or frontend stuff like the names do not update or change when I restart HA. I’ve restarted both through the app and also cmd hass

The config tester says my config is valid and I am not seeing any errors. But none of my groups work, or weblinks, or any other .yaml file I link to in my configure.yaml with the !include option. I can post the group.yaml or anything else needed if you have any ideas. Thank you in advance!

Thank you! Good eye. That’s the kind of thing I am missing after looking at this for 8 hours today.

I made that fix and it now detects today’s HA update but no change other than that. Am I doing anything else wrong on the configuratio.yaml?

I will paste my groups.yaml as well. I’ve got multiple groups set to view: yes but that is not seeming to matter. My frontend page is only showing my default screen and 1 tab I made 2 weeks ago.

Last line needs a space before -

Thank you, fixed that. I had tried restarting home assistant multiple times yesterday while troubleshooting but should have restarted my computer. Once I did, my frontend changes showed up, including the weblinks. At this point I think I have everything working that should be and will start focusing on learning how to do scripts and floorplan. Thank you both for your help.

I may be mistaken here, but don’t the last 2 groups needs underscores instead of spaces in the group id?

Weather_Overview:

instead of

Weather Overview:

Edit:. Just noticed that to be true of all multiple word group ids.

I don’t think the spaces matter in that particular place because it automatically makes them lower case and underscores where the spaces are when it comes to the group entitites. In any event, I’ve got everything up and running perfectly so far but thank you for your time. This morning I got the presence detection with cloudmqtt and owntrack so pretty happy. Now onto floorplan.
