Error Message malformed: Integration ‘’ not found

Additional information

Example is from user fermulator, that also has the problem.
The predefined automations work.

Example, I created this automation:

Copy to clipboard

id: '1584962954826'
alias: Energy Savings (TOU off-peak)
description: Only ON during off-peak (7PM -> 7AM)
trigger:
- at: 07:00:00
  
  platform: time
  
  condition: []
  
  action:
- scene: scene.energy_savings_tou_off_peak
  
  based off this scene:

Copy to clipboard

id: '1584962996368'
name: Energy Savings (TOU off-peak)
entities: {}
That all worked.

However trying to create a similar one in the UI same naming chars etc, and it doesn’t work!

Copy to clipboard
Name: Energy Savings (TOU winter on-peak morning)
Desc: OFF (7AM -> 11AM)
Active Scene: scene.energy_savings_tou_on_peak_winter
save button doesn’t work, then it says at the top in red:

Hey there @home-assistant/core, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (automation) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

I recently upgraded from 105 to 107, also hitting this issue.

HA 0.107.7 , Python virtual environment, same issue.
Restart helped.
Unfortunately, immediately rebooted, did not guess to collect the details...

i was just getting this same issue when attempting to add an automation.

in my case, it was because the empty "condition" was being sent. after deleting the empty default condition it let me save.

here is what was being sent upon clicking save:

{
   "description" : "",
   "alias" : "lamp (refresh)",
   "condition" : [
      {
         "device_id" : "",
         "entity_id" : "",
         "domain" : "",
         "condition" : "device"
      }
   ],
   "action" : [
      {
         "service" : "zwave.refresh_entity",
         "entity_id" : "zwave.aeon_labs_dsc06106_smart_energy_switch_3",
         "data" : {}
      }
   ],
   "trigger" : [
      {
         "domain" : "switch",
         "entity_id" : "switch.aeon_labs_dsc06106_smart_energy_switch_switch",
         "device_id" : "b8ba24d3847b4f0e98b6a915ece6f761",
         "type" : "turned_on",
         "platform" : "device"
      },
      {
         "domain" : "switch",
         "device_id" : "b8ba24d3847b4f0e98b6a915ece6f761",
         "type" : "turned_off",
         "platform" : "device",
         "entity_id" : "switch.aeon_labs_dsc06106_smart_energy_switch_switch"
      }
   ]
}

and the response:

{"message": "Message malformed: Integration '' not found"}

not sure if this is the same things the other people have mentioned, but maybe it will help someone.
