Just updated to the 25.2 lastest version as someone said that would fix it but it hasn’t .
Constantly getting this message when creating the very basic of automations none will save and can’t get them to work . Having to basic things working via Alexa which is annoying

The error message says to run something, right? I gave you a link to that thing. Did you run it?

And no, don't try to friend me. That's against the server rules and not how this works.

molten bronze
#

this is the config it says no errors or issues either in developer tools

@molten bronze To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

@strange glacier thanks updateded the code

humble dagger
#

Please try again. You didn't use the right characters

#

See that your code still lacks proper formatting

The indentation is still all broken there

#

If that's actually what you're trying to save, it won't work

rob thanks for helping here btw

#

its been driving me crazy

strange glacier
#

Delete it and try again. Something has gone wrong, and we cannot tell what you have done.

molten bronze
#

none of them i create work in the UI

strange glacier

I’m sure that can be done. Also having someone or something writing it for you means the second it misbehaves, you will be struggling back to find someone to fix it for you.
The best way to learn is to just try. Run thru the docs on getting started with the automation editor. If you get stuck, come back with what you have done.

Can you send a screenshot of the automation screen where you're actually building the automation?

molten bronze
#

On my phone but same place when on the Mac I’m
Trying to build them here ender

idle fiber
#

where is the automation you were building?

molten bronze
#

I’ve yet to be able to build one that’s saves even the examples I follow that work on YouTube so I know it’s not me building them

idle fiber
#

So you're clicking start automation

molten bronze
#

create automation

idle fiber
#

or create rather

#

then you're building on this screen?

#

Can you add a trigger of time then just pick a random (specific) time.

#

an an action of light toggle and select any light, then try to save it

molten bronze
#

@idle fiber see this I have no idea where I’m going wrong

hearty siren
#

how have you installed homeassistant

molten bronze
#

It’s. Two weeks old

#

I’ve even booted this I safe mode as some one told me and still nothing

hearty siren
#

mind checking the system logs

#

it should probably log something if stuff goes wrong

molten bronze
#

I know what most of these are and shouldn’t have any impact

hearty siren
#

you want to search for something around the time of you trying to save an automation

molten bronze
idle fiber
#

so +/- 5 minutes from when you made the video

molten bronze
#

No logs around that last one was 8pm

idle fiber
#

do you have the file editor installed?

molten bronze
#

I did but when I booted it from
Factory reset and started fresh I didn’t install it again

molten bronze
idle fiber
#

look at the configuration.yaml file -- do you have a line that says automation: !include automations.yaml

molten bronze
molten bronze
humble dagger
#

no

#

look at the configuration.yaml file

idle fiber
#

use the link I shared and install the file editor add on

#

then use it to open up the configuration.yaml file

molten bronze
idle fiber
#

well that's not right.

#

Can you do a full reboot of your HA server

#

then check again?

molten bronze

molten bronze
#
