Simple Configuration Yaml used to work but then I moved to a new server

Configuration
1

Hi, I hope someone can advise what is causing errors in my simple weather configuration.yaml. When I check the configuration in the UI, the yaml file seems to crash python and lists a long stream of python errors.

The Yaml followed by the errors are presented below.

Thanks in advance and let me know if more information is required!

Please correct your post per the top of the page.

your group: config is incorrect. Try like this:

      - group.weather_overview

      - sensor.pws_temp_low_1d_c
      - sensor.pws_precip_1d

Good catch and thanks very much! I corrected and the configuration checker isn’t hanging anymore. I noticed had a typo as well: sensor.pws.pressure_mb -> sensor.pws_pressure_mb.

There’s still something wrong with the group: as my display just present Home with a blue bar.

group:
  default_view:
    name: Home
    view: yes
    entities:
      - group.daily_forecast
      - group.weather_overview
    
  daily_forecast:
    name: Today
    view: no
    entities:
      - sensor.pws_observation_time
      - sensor.pws_temp_c
      - sensor.pws_feelslike_c
      - sensor.pws_relative_humidity
      - sensor.pws_temp_high_1d_c
      - sensor.pws_temp_low_1d_c
      - sensor.pws_precip_1d
      - sensor.pws_wind_kph

If you go to the left sidebar and click on the “<>” at the bottom, what does it show for those two groups (group.daily_forecast & group.weather_overview)?

Thanks for the reply. I have a spare ubuntu VM so I loaded HA on it and copied the configuration.yaml file to it and it works perfectly. I should have mentioned the other server was a windows 10 vm and it continues to have problems.

I compared the two <> for both as you directed and they’re identical. All the data is actively being captured by both but the windows vm just won’t render a presentation whereas the ubuntu vm renders perfectly.

So I dumped the windows 10 vm and I’ll stick with ubuntu.

I really do appreciate your help as it did sort out a problem with the group: section.

I’m not sure why there would be a problem in a win 10 vm compared to an Ubuntu VM as far as group frontend displays go but I’m glad you got it working.

Maybe all that was required was a clearing of the browser cache (ctrl-F5 in chrome) to get the display to show properly. I’ve needed to do that before after some config changes to get things showing up correctly. Maybe you can pop back to your windows VM and try that just to see if that was the problem just as a future FYI.

For a sanity check I copied the working yamls from the Ubunu VM back to the Win10 VM and it’s still not rendering properly. Both HA environments are brand new installs.

I checked <> on the Win10 VM and the data is there just not rendering as noted. I also tried Chrome Firefox and Edge but nothing.

But the Ubuntu VM is working perfectly so I’m good.

Again thanks for the help!

very strange…:thinking:
