I would like to turn on a light with a specific scene at sunset everyday. What may be wrong with this Automation? - id: '1573782707182' alias: Night description: '' trigger: - event: sunset platform: sun condition: [] action: - data: Living Room Shelf Lamp: service: ligh…

You’re not using the attribute “entity_id” when mentioning the light: - id: '1573782707182' alias: Night description: '' trigger: - event: sunset platform: sun condition: [] action: - data: entity_id: light.living_room_shelf_lamp <--- I just made this entity up, you need to…

[image] tom_l: The set state service for a Lifx light allows you to change the attributes of the light (e.g. colour and brightness) without changing the state (on/off). Thanks @tom_l , I do use that functionality through my Android Tasker app and plugin, so this will come in handy.

[image] jazzyisj: I really like the Cloud9 IDE addon . It’s the bees knees. Runs on a PI and has a built in terminal negating the need to run another SSH terminal addon. Addon installs it preconfigured for your HA instance. I’m running it as a VDI on my Windows computer. I’ll give both add-on…

If you use VS Code, I suggest using this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=keesschollaart.vscode-home-assistant [Config Helper]

Got Cloud9 running, though I get an alert in the log, which I have started a new thread here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/cloud9-log-alert/148621 Edit: Solved; guess all the add-on’s have this error; ignoring.

Having read this, I installed vsc on win 10 Added the home assistant addon showed it where my files were and it went through and found two itty bitty faults in my files that check config missed. That’s really quite impressive. I also like that similar to notepad++, it does auto completion, but ac…

If you install this vscode extension it will show you your indentation inconsistencies too: [image] Vscode with indent rainbow Configuration If you use vscode found this indent rainbow [image] install by clicking of the on the [image] then the EXTENSIONS type in i…

The Config Helper extension also identifies indentation errors although maybe not as attractively as the ‘indent rainbow’ extension. In the following screenshot, I’ve added an extra space in front of friendly_name and immediately the last word on the line gets the’ wavy gravy’ treatment. By hovering…

The other cool thing about indent-rainbow is that it forces multiples of 2 spaces by default. So even though the following is ‘technically’ correct yaml it alerts you to a style inconsistency. [Untitled]

Off subject code question using vscode… In the below code, the brightness setting (50) does not have single quotes around it, should it? VScode did not present an error for it. I also do not have an id specified for this device. It’s my understanding that device id is no longer required as we’re n…

the brightness setting (50) does not have single quotes around it, should it? Nope. A number is expected as the value. Depending on the key: sometimes a string is expected. You should quote these or if a special character like ‘%’ is used. Or a special word like ‘on’ or ‘off’ (unquoted these wi…
