Scenes won't activate?

Configuration
1

I’m having trouble getting my scenes to activate with just some simple lights. I configure a scene in in the config file, and it shows up on the States page. When I click “Activate” to activate the scene, it does nothing, though I get the message on the GUI that the scene turned on. I thought maybe I needed an automation, so I threw together a quick automation. The trigger didn’t matter as I was going to trigger manually from the GUI…again…no joy. I’m not getting any errors when I restart HASS. Here’s the log entries form var/log/syslog when I try to activate the scene, and below that are the snippets from my configuration.yaml file. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve got an Alexa skill written and running, and now I want to get it to activate scenes for me.

(Sigh). Hours. Hours spent debugging, surfing the net, trying different things. Only to find that I misspelled “entities”. Now I remember why I decided not to be a programmer all those years ago :slight_smile:

Top work! Nothing like the feeling of relief/embarrassment when you find that it’s your spelling not your programming :blush: :slight_smile:

Don’t beat yourself up too much, I wish I had a nickel for every time I spelled it ‘entites’… I could have bought a whole new Pi setup.
