[SOLVED] Automation Config Error Groups

Configuration
1

I keep getting the following error on startup. It doesn’t seem to impact anything but I just can’t get it to go away.


Logger: homeassistant.config
Source: config.py:464 
First occurred: 4:15:20 PM (1 occurrences) 
Last logged: 4:15:20 PM

Invalid config for [automation]: required key not provided @ data['action']. Got None required key not provided @ data['trigger']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 80).

Line 80 just has

group: !include groups.yaml

groups.yaml is just an empty file. Any ideas?

2

There seems to be a problem in your automation.yaml
Check if all your automation‘s are working

3

the error checker gets messed up sometimes and gives the wrong (or no) line numbers depending on how your config is split up.

but as deluxestyle pointed out the error is in the automations (as noted in the error wording itself) not the groups (as indicated by the line number).

it looks like in the action you are referencing a trigger but it doesn’t exist yet? without seeing the automation it’s hard to tell why it would be like that.

I went through all automations and they seem to be fine. I have a few turned off that can’t work right now but other than that I have no idea. I am attaching my automations.yaml in case someone sees something glaringly obvious.

the only thing I see that is obvious is this:

- id: '1615067351970'

doesn’t have any of the rest of a normal automation connected to it.

it’s about 2/3 of the way down that list right before the “Refresh Humidity Sensors” automation.

that might be it.

Thank you so much, good eye. That was definitely it.
