Hi,
I have HAOS 2025.11
In Studio Code Server do I get syntax error in my yaml-files.
In automation.yaml I get several “String does not match the pattern of “LEGEACY_SYNTAX””
I have tried to fix the syntax but without to succeed, could anybody have a give me ha hand?
Try write the code with new syntax

The warning message you’re seeing is not reported by Home Assistant. It is reported by an outdated syntax checker within the VS Code editor.
The syntax for automations was changed (some time ago). The old syntax remains valid so you can safely ignore the warnings. However, if you want to immediately eliminate them, you will need to change your automation’s syntax as described in the linked post (where someone else reported the same issue).
A well known forum regular, sir_Goodenough, made a guide on how to convert old automation syntax to new. The old syntax will keep working, at least for a while, but if you want to get rid of the warnings:
The old syntax should stay forever, Paulus and Frenck have stated with every automation syntax change that they will never introduce breaking changes in the syntax.
Looked at the video and try to change as it shows.
But I still get LEGACY_SYNTAX warnings.
Is there any settings in Studio Code Server or HA that you should make to sett the syntax check to new format?
“Determind if Fredda @ home or not” and “Automated backups, snapshots every wednesday night to Dropbox” are only the two sections now that give syntax error
Those are Studio Code warnings… they’re not actual Home Assistant warnings, the HA extension is just behind on some new syntax. There’s nothing you can really do about it.
