as harmony is not longer yaml based I was unable to solve it, other then downgrading to 2024.1.2 which works fine

any idea what I can do?

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2024.1.4

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

2024.1.2

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Container

Fixed by #108489. Upgrade to 2024.1.5 when it becomes available

thanks, understanding the issue made it easy .. I've removed the empty harmony file and 2024.1.4 works fine now.
