I am having a weird issue where automations I add aren't saved and I can't find what is going on. This is how my config looks like:

homeassistant:

    !include_dir_named includes/packages
    #irrigation: !include includes/packages/irrigation.yaml

I have NodeRED installed as well

You have them included in a sub directory

#

automation: !include includes/automation/automations.yaml

dusk harbor
#

yeah, so should I just commented out that line and it should start working, right?

old lava
#

you'll lose all your existing automations

dusk harbor
#

I have nothing there

old lava
#

Then you need to reset the line to the default

#

removing it will remove automation integration

automation: !include automation.yaml

do I need to create the file or will HA do it for me?

old lava
#

No idea

tired bison
