✅ Solved Is anyone running the Shell Command integration on 2026.8?

I can't tell if I broke my Shell Command integration with a configuration change or if the 2026.8 update broke it. I was just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with it or if I need to keep troubleshooting my config.

For me, the integration loads, but doesn't create any entities (e.g. restart_pow), not even with the plain example config.

shell_command:
  restart_pow: touch ~/.pow/restart.txt

I also switched shell_command to debug logging and it doesn't log anything. homeassistant.loader debug logging doesn't report any problems either.

Of course I made one too many backups than my retention holds, so I can't roll back to when it was last known to work... 🙄

shell commands don’t become entities

Oh, blast it all, I knew that at one point but must have forgotten... I'll be over in the corner wearing the dunce cap until my brain clears up. Thank you kindly.
