I'm getting the following message when checking configuration on my code. I need a second pair of eyes since obviously I can't find the error
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping
in "/config/packages/appliances.yaml", line 543, column 13
expected <block end>, but found '<scalar>'
in "/config/packages/appliances.yaml", line 558, column 15
What the heck does scalar mean?? I've included the link to my code.

Might help if you called out which line is line 543 and which one is 558

The last line may be a problem, but that's a complete guess. I don't think adding a comment in a data line is a good idea...
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: group.alert_sonos_devices
volume_level: 0.20 # 75% Volume

I fooled around with it a little more while waiting for help. Now getting the following
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping
in "/config/packages/appliances.yaml", line 543, column 13
expected <block end>, but found '{'
in "/config/packages/appliances.yaml", line 548, column 15
line 543 == announce: true
line 548 == {{ [
line 548 is before the random messages portion
fringe shadow
Also on the 15th line in that sequesce...

@fringe shadow
I've never had issues adding comments on the same line of a command. Several of my other automations and/or scripts have inline comments
fringe shadow
It's a guess, as I said. But I wouldn't do it.

@fringe shadow thanks 🙂
fringe shadow
and what you post as like 548 occurrs a bunch of times. Why not post the whole thing?

@fringe shadow @round gale
It's in the paste link I provided
actually line 548 == line 22 of the paste.org link
548 is actually the line in my packages file. Sorry
fringe shadow
If 543 is what you said, 548 is 5 likes later, no0t?

In your oriinal post you have 558 and 543, so 15 lines apart
fringe shadow
So "an hour ago." then?
So post the whole thing, because we have no idea at all...

It's probably not, because that is part of a list, and that looks formed correctly
teal cove
I tried copying and running in the templates, and it works ok
fringe shadow
Let's just say good luck, I don't think I can help here...

this is the current error from HA check configuration

hope that clears things up. 🤔
@teal cove really? what the heck. 
teal cove
can you put for fun some string before the {{ ?
