Hi. Same problem here just like Marcos_Felipe. I can watch any folder except /backup.
Both /config and /share work fine, but when I add /backup I get:
2018-11-27 16:59:37 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [folder_watcher]: not a directory for dictionary value @ data['folder_watcher'][2]['folder']. Got '/backup'. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 98). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/folder_watcher/
Here’s my config:
homeassistant:
whitelist_external_dirs:
- /config
- /share
- /backup
folder_watcher:
- folder: /config
- folder: /share
- folder: /backup
And I’ve done all kind of possible reboots, reloads and even shutdown. Running Hass.io in Raspberry Pi. If I add it to folder_watcher it also prevents homeassistant from starting up and I get:
2018-11-27 17:10:44 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [homeassistant]: not a directory @ data['whitelist_external_dirs'][2]. Got '/backup'. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 2).
ls -la shows backup w/o problems, at same level as /config and /share. Even tried /root/backup to avoid the symlink, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!
