So I recently purchased a Home Assistant Green and Im struggling to complete my first project - home security system. At its basic form, I have three motion sensors (living room, hallway, garage). I only plan to arm this system at night meaning no home/away modes, only arm or disarm. I am building this system using YAML files only. All files check out when running the yaml validations but the system is not working at all. Can someone take a look at my configs and provide guidance?
Start with looking in 2 places:
1- Settings, Automations and scenes. Do you see your automations there? When did they last run? Are they running at all?
- Open one of automations where things should start. On the upper right, click Traces. There should be a yellow line from top to bottom through the automation flow. If not there’s an X… the X potentially points to the problem
2- Settings, System, Logs. Look for errors related to your automations
Edit: You also need to, at a minimum, Press Reload Automations on the YAML Config pag where you check Yaml. If you Added Helpers, (variables) you need to reload the right one there. If you added a new yaml file, you need to restart the the Green (in my experience)
