I’m running into an issue where I can’t create new automations. I keep getting the following error:
“New automation setup failed. Your new automation has saved, but waiting for it to setup has timed out. This could be due to errors parsing your configuration.yaml, please check the configuration in developer tools. Your automation will not be visible until this is corrected, and automations are reloaded. Changes to area, category, or labels were not saved and must be reapplied.”
It doesn’t matter if I use a blueprint or try to create an automation from scratch using the GUI—I always get the same error.
I’ve searched around and found that some people mention it’s important to have the following line in configuration.yaml:
automation: !include automations.yaml
I’ve always had this line in my configuration, and I triple-checked to make sure it’s still there.
Here is some more info just for debugging:
- Restarted the entire machine – no effect.
- Running Home Assistant OS directly on bare metal.
- Haven’t modified my
configuration.yamlin a long time. - Can’t find anything obvious in the logs.
I’m running out of ideas—does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be missing or something else I can try?
Thanks in advance!
