Thermostat card turned off when there’s a power outage

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

I don’t know if it because I’m using apple os but I can not paste it

[Hellis81]

Use a computer.
Phones does not work great with the ESP-Home editor.

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

Im using a Mac book pro

You can copy and paste on a Mac. Command C to copy. Command V to paste.

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

That doesn’t work either

This is not the copy of the ESP-Home editor.
You just copied from the forum post above.

As the page linked to in post 6 says:

When you do that, remember that spacing is critical in YAML, and if you just throw the code on the page then it’ll look ugly and nobody will know if the problem is because of spacing.

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

im sorry I don’t understand why can’t I jus copy and past right here like ever other form I have used.

[NathanCu (Nathan Curtis)]

Because the yaml you use to configure is HIGHLY sensitive to case and type of and amount of indent. We MUST see what you did to tell why you’re broken.

We’re all willing to help but don’t want to run you off in the weeds because of a missed space. That’s why they’re being so demanding about the formatting. It really does matter.

[stevemann (Stephen Mann (YAML-challenged))]

@Hairfarm

im sorry I don’t understand why can’t I jus copy and past right here like ever other form I have used.

Did you read the link in post #6? What you posted above is unreadable for debugging purposes. Spaces are critical to the format.

Open the ESPHome tab then click on “Edit” in the device. When you are editing the configuration code, select all then copy to clipboard. In the forum, start a post and click on the </> icon at the top. Then paste your code in the message body where prompted. This preserves the indentation of YAML code. If it isn’t properly indented, we can’t efficiently read the code.

did exactly as Instructed. If I reboot or remove the power from the pi the HA is on everything work properly. Which make me believe that the problem is with wifi router and d1min not connecting quick enough. It also pass the validate.

@Hairfarm

I did not see anyone instruct you to cut the power to HA.
Glad it worked, but you really shouldn’t do that.

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

did exactly as instructed to up load my yaml. Shutting down the pi or restarting HA ever thing works fine, but when there is a loss of power to the whole house it doesn’t .
Which make me believe that the problem is with wifi router and d1min not connecting quick enough. It also pass the validate.
And now did an update to ESPHome and now can not update the d1mim oat.Went back and restored from back up fix that issue.

[Hellis81]

@Hairfarm

did exactly as instructed to up load my yaml.

Nope…

If you had done it correctly then it would look like this:

See how there is spaces on the left of some words?
That shows that you did not copy the code from the ESP-Home editor. You (again) just copied the code you pasted in post 14, right?

Looking at the screenshot you posted before, we can see that there are spaces. But you didn’t copy from there.
So… No, you did not do as instructed.

@Hairfarm

When the ESP device has a power loss it will reboot and return to the state it was programmed to have at boot.
Most likely that is a low output on the pin that controls the relay.

[Hairfarm (hairfarmer)]

I did exactlyas told to do in post 20 and copy and pasted from esphome editor same pace I took screen shot. don’t know why its is coming out this way.

[Hellis81]

In that case there is something wrong with your computer that does not copy spaces.
