[Issue]: importing gives `unknown error`

[sophof]

Description

I'm trying to try out the blueprint, but trying out the button gives an unknown error once I get to my home assistant instance. It works fine on other blueprints (tried a random one) and there's no error in the log sadly.

It is the same for both stable and beta.

Version

0.12.0.4

Automation Config

NA

Frigate Config

NA

Any other relevant information

No response

I'm having same issue on version 0.14. When trying to access the blueprint I get an unknown error message

[SgtBatten]

This may be the same as #254

Can you link me to the place where you are clicking the button so I can test and verify.

Hi the link is here: https://github.com/SgtBatten/HA_blueprints

I'm having the same issue when trying to import the blueprint. I'm clicking the button at https://github.com/SgtBatten/HA_blueprints

Looking at the logs while I do this, I see these errors:

2024-08-15 21:18:10.921 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.util.yaml.loader] mapping values are not allowed here in "", line 122, column 42: ...

I'm not havng the issue. Can you show the whole error in your log

[UKHarj]

I have manually imported the blueprint. However I can't select cameras. I have frigate add on installed and using the new version 0.14

[SgtBatten]

frigate integration must be installed incorrectly, or not installed.

Sorry, I don't have the logs anymore. When I try to click the install blueprint button, I am still getting an An unknown error occurred.

Is there a way I can install it manually? Are the steps below correct:

1. Download the May 28th Source Code.
2. Create a folder under homeassistant/blueprints/automation (does it matter what I call this folder), ie HA-blueprints?
3. Upload the yaml file from the downloaded source code. Is there anything else other than the yaml file I need to put in the folder? What do I name the yaml file?
4. Do I need to add any lines to my configuration.yaml file or the automations.yaml? I am not in yaml mode, so I don't typically need to manually edit this file.

[SgtBatten]

No that's way over complicating it.

Everyone else is saying if you click import on the blueprint page in HA and manually paste the url to the blueprint it works.

But if you need to manually install it, go to the file if the one you want, copy the text and paste it into a new text file you make in the blueprint folder inside HA.

Pasting URL didn't work for me for some reason, but I was able to get it working. Thanks for the help.

I had the same issue with the button import as well and had to do it manually. @mostlychris on YouTube recently did a feature on this blueprint (which is how I became aware of this) and he had the same issue. Perhaps is has something to do with the file not being .yaml or b/c we are US based and some localization issue?

[SgtBatten]

Can anyone try the new links on the readme (main page of this repository)

[mostlychris]

I just tried and I get the same "unknown error".

[ryangottlieb]

Can confirm I am also seeing the same "unknown error" clicking or pasting URL.

even weirder, manually pasting it in my YAML editor shows something is in error and HA dislikes it as well

EDIT: I was able to go back a commit (https://github.com/SgtBatten/HA_blueprints/commit/b81e3087eb6a59e271a3ccf0df80ea2f33cc18d3) from current and use that "STABLE" and it imported.

[SgtBatten]

Anyone getting the error please check the home assistant log afterwards and post the full error.

[ryangottlieb]

@SgtBatten I just tried it again and the unknown error did not produce any log entry that I could find.

[lyj0309]

no log ,just An unknown error occurred i use docker hass and hacs version frigate

[TheRealFalseReality]

Can anyone try the new links on the readme (main page of this repository)

on my fork, I removed the spaces in Frigate Camera Notifications -> Frigate_Camera_Notifications and created a HA link using the link button creator and it seemed to have worked properly.

Note: This is a test, do not actually use it as it may not be updated like @SgtBatten's repository.

[SgtBatten]

Yeah I've long wondered if that is problematic. But I've had 25000 clicks on the home assistant forum and only problems recently.

It also works fine for me still as is and I'm not sure if that's because I already have it downloaded and updating doesn't have the same issue

[SgtBatten]

Okay i;ve renamed the folder,

@lyj0309 can you please try the link on the main page of this repository again.

[ryangottlieb]

Worked for me now.

[SgtBatten]

Thanks

[TheRealFalseReality]

Working now too. So strange how things work sometime, but not for all. And strange that it would work one day, then break the next!

[sophof]

Working for me as well, thanks! (sorry, couldn't be more active until now.)

[SgtBatten]

Thanks all

[lyj0309]

Working now

[mostlychris]

...and working for me. Thanks for fixing it! Also the blueprint is awesome.
