Home Assistant makes invalid automation and script messages point to the configuration as it was written. Errors in nested conditions, parallel actions, triggers and templates identify the failing field rather than a parent block or an extra list position that does not exist.
An unfinished device action reports the empty device field, and an invalid entity name is identified as such instead of suggesting that it must be “all” or “none”. The more precise paths also appear in configuration validation responses, logs and repair notices, making complex configurations easier to correct.
