Shell_command dont appear in the services

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

Im setting up Home Assistant slowly, already got my lights and switches running :slight_smile:

Now I want to setup some shell_commands, but they do not appear. My config.yaml:
</>

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

shell_command:
  test_direct: ls

</>

I tried several methods, i put “” around ls, used shell_command: !include shell_commands.yaml with a seperate file… nothing works. The only signal i get from HA is that the “shell_command” logo appears in the Services page, but its empty and cannot be configured from WebUI.
Logs clean

I want to automate a music playback (Raspi/Libreelec squeezelite). I need to have the raspi start the squeezelite by himself to get the player available.
I want to have a shell_command to ssh into the pi and start the squeezelite, and then automate the playback with the rest of HA integrations

Can anyone help me ?
Cheers

When posting code make sure to mark it as code with th </> icon above the editor (sometimes it is in the double down arrow).

Besides that remember to restart HA core after changes to the configuration.yanl file or files included therein.

Sorry for the code.

I restarted the container and also restarted home assistant itself several times, didnt change…

I do not know what the issue might be, but your test might be flawed, because the ls command might be executed in your home directory, which have no files (except maybe a few hidden ones).
