"Home Assistant Repairs" detecting notify in Automation's as an "Error"

[Coolie1101]

The problem

I keep getting the following repair error for multiple automations after automations are reloaded, please note, I have been using this notifier for a long time with no issues, it is currently working and sending notifications.

Uptime Kuma Notification uses an unknown service
The automation "Uptime Kuma Notification" (automation.uptime_kuma_notification) has an action that calls an unknown service: notify.telegram.

This error prevents the automation from running correctly. Maybe this service is no longer available, or perhaps a typo caused it.

To fix this error, [edit the automation](http://hassos:8123/config/automation/edit/1651758116418) and remove the action that calls this service.

Just a dumb question wrt the YAML snippet; is that all defined in an automation?
The first two sections should be defined outside the automations in the configuration.yaml:

telegram_bot:
  - platform: polling
    api_key: !secret telegram_api_key
    allowed_chat_ids:
      - !secret telegram_chat_id_me
    parse_mode: html

notify:
  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_me
    name: Telegram

[Coolie1101]

No, they are not all defined in the automation, the Telegram Integration and the Notify component is defined in configuration.yaml

FYI, the automations work as expected, and has been for years.

[erkr]

Thanks for clarifying. I hope someone can confirm your issue.
I defined a number of notifiers myself (platforms: groups, rest, file and pushsafer), and use them in my automations.

None of them are causing repair errors. You could temporary try to use another platform then telegram in the notify. Maybe it is telegram related.

[Coolie1101]

Maybe it is telegram related.

Maybe, but there isn't any related entries in the log, and why would it only show up now?

[erkr]

There where several repair improvement over the latest releases. That can cause regression. Just try if it is telegram specific. The more specific you are, the bigger the chance someone looks into it.
The is nothing wrong with notification used in automations

[Coolie1101]

I have multiple notifiers using Telegram, none of which is producing errors, except notify.telegram, I currently don't have any other notify integrations.

notify:
  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_me
    name: Telegram

  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_her
    name: Trini11

  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_niala
    name: Niala

  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_hassbianbot
    name: HassbianBot

  - platform: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id_group
    name: Group

[erkr]

Maybe something goes wrong in checking repairs using the same name as the platform.
But that is then telegram specific, as my pushsafer notifier also has Pushsafer as name without issues

[Coolie1101]

Should I then report this as an issue under the Telegram Integration?

[erkr]

I think that is a better guess indeed

[Coolie1101]

Can we move this or I have to create new?

[erkr]

I am just a user like you, but try if you can change the integration and link.
Otherwise creating a new one that points to this one will be fine

[Coolie1101]

Seems like alot more is broken after updating to 2024.4.1, I just noticed a couple template errors in the logs relevant to #114907

[erkr]

Not necessarily broken. Latest HA starts up faster. As a result more templates initially can have uninitialised sensors. I had to make some templates more robust to get rid of template errors during startup myself.
