Did you install lovelace_gen? And if yes do you have other dashboards installed that leverage lovelace_gen (e.g. Dwains Dashboard)?

I just removed Dwains and reinstall Lovelace_gen. I still have the same error. Also when I attempt to open homekit-infused.yaml it doesn't appear to be in yaml. Screenshot 2023-04-26 144648

First I will advise you to use a different text editor like VSCode or Sublime as they are much more suitable for coding. Second the file should be readable, if not try redownloading it and to open it again. Third make sure you have the packages line in configuration.yaml and that you have installed the packages. If you already had packages then you will have to find a way to make them both work, it is possible but this is entirely dependent on how your own file structure is made up. Fourth make sure that DD is not loaded (even if you have removed it there might be remnants of lovelace_gen). If you are not sure you can also check the docs (configuration part) on how to make both DD and HKI work together. Fifth make sure you have read/write access on those files (if not you could try to chmod them).

If this all doesn't help you can ask me again, I will also advise you to join our discord community as I (or anyone else) can help you out much quicker. There are also other developers on this community like Dwains and many other developers that made HACS addons. So what are you waiting for? 😂
