My HA keeps throwing 2 errors. The error disappears if i remove all data from the groups.yaml file.

  • 2021-03-13 08:41:00 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [group]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘group’]. Got [OrderedDict([(‘platform’, ‘group’), (‘name’, ‘Living Room Lamps’), (‘entities’, [‘light.dimmable_light_1’, ‘light.dimmable_light_1’])])]. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 18). Please check the docs at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/group

  • 2021-03-13 08:41:00 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for group: Invalid config.

Below is my groups.yaml

- platform: group
  name: Living Room Lamps
  entities:
    - light.dimmable_light_1
    - light.dimmable_light_2

and below is my configuration.yaml

The light group platform goes under light, not group.

Like this on the groups.yaml file?

light:
  - platform: group
    name: Living Room Lamps
    entities:
      - light.dimmable_light_1
      - light.dimmable_light_2

No. This:

- platform: group
  name: Living Room Lamps
  entities:
    - light.dimmable_light_1
    - light.dimmable_light_2

in your lights.yaml file. Which looking at your configuration.yaml file you will have to create. Then add this to your configuration.yaml file:

light: !include lights.yaml

and restart.

That makes sense :grinning:. Thanks @tom_l
