There was a breaking change with time strings; are you using them anywhere like an automation or template?

The template methods now and utcnow have been changed from variables to methods. To get the current time replace now with now().

This happened in 0.29.x:

Could this be related since the error mentions time and pytz which is a list of timezones?

Hi rpitera,

First thanks for reply.

In my configuration sensors i had something like this:

- platform: time_date
_ display_options:_
_ - ‘time_date’_

but already i comment it in configuration file, but continue the same error. I tried other options, but always the same… this one is my configuration.yaml now:

homeassistant:
_ name: Flat_
_ latitude: XXXX_
_ longitude: XXXX_
_ elevation: XX_
_ unit_system: metric_
_ time_zone: XXXX_
