Unable to show sensor values in UI

Configuration
1

Hello all,

Don’t lauch at me but I am a real noob in programming but wanna try anyhow.

I tried to show a sensor value on the ui home screen but what I do I get an error messag please advice

I tried the following code:

customize:
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_5_1

This results in the following:

Adding some lines to the group.yaml

group:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:

  • group.Main_Floor
    Main_Floor:
    name: Main Floor
    entities:
  • sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_5_1

results in not starting at all, please advice

Use preformatted text when posting YAML.

That code for customize doesn’t look right. Assuming that’s customize under your homeassistant: block. Customize code looks like this:

customize:
  switch.garage_ceiling_switch_29_0:
    friendly_name: Garage Ceiling

Thank you for your quick reply,

I changed the settings of note++ as recommended and changed the code i:

Still not succesfully, for the record I am using Home assistent 0.45.1 running on docker in a Synology 1515+

Thank you for the assistance

Are you still seeing the “invalid config” message in your HA interface? What error do you see in home-assistant.log?

This is a copy of the log:

Are you sure you’ve got “customize” in the right place? It should be a child of homeassistant: – not a sibling.

homeassistant:
  customize:
    switch.garage_ceiling_switch_29_0:
      friendly_name: Garage Ceiling

Yes I did it right:

697×249 9.33 KB

After this didn’t work I tried this:

729×267 9.69 KB

Also didn’t work, the error log didn’t show anything and the failure is not present anymore neigther the sensor value?

8

To be clear this is my goal

This is the current view

9

Customize seems to work.
Do you have group: !include group.yaml in your configuration.yaml?

10

Hey Tobi,

Yes I have, it looks like this:

group:
multisensor:
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_5_1
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_ultraviolet_5_27
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_relative_humidity_5_5
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_luminance_5_3
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_burglar_5_10
- sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_alarm_type_5_0

However it gives an error

11

Customize did not work this is just a sample of what I would like to achieve

12

Try with

group:
  default_view:
    view: yes
    icon: mdi:home 
    entities:
      - group.multisensor
  multisensor:
    control: hidden
    name: Multisensor
    entities:
      - sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_5_1
      - sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_ultraviolet_5_27
      - ...

check this for a complete description of what you should do to group things properly

13

On your current view, there is a sensor called “Zolder Temperature”, so I assume it works. Your problem is when you try to group your configurations rather than customize I think

14

And please learn how to format code. This makes life easier for everyone.

15

I had the same issue where the sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_XXXX dispeared after upgrading. I’m still working to get it back I was able to get some sensors back but the burglar sensor seems to be gone.

16

Thank for sharing, I am until now not able to see any of them in a group, I changed the groups.yaml file as sugested however the error stays in the home screen.

This is the code I used:
group:
default_view:
view: yes
icon: mdi:home
entities:
- group.multisensor

multisensor:
name: Multisensor
entities:
sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_luminance_5_3

It looks like you’ve got something fundamentally wrong with your configuration.yaml. Or a bad install.

Most of the times where someone sees “component not found” type messages, it’s due to putting a component/key in the wrong place.

Could you post your full YAML, redacting personal stuff. Use preformatted text, not an image.

Sorry, I am so noob that I don’t know how to do it so I re-installed Home assistent at another “method used by philhawthorne” and now it is working. Somewhere during the installation something wen’t wrong I think, anyhow everyone thank you for helping me out. I am sure I will ask you in the future some other lame question :slight_smile:

Kind regards,

André
