1000 times per minute: Error in 'condition' evaluation: In 'template' condition: TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

dbrunt · February 5, 2022, 11:02pm

What the heck is going on? Everything is working correctly but this error is occurring ~933 times per minute! HA is latest version 2022.2. I did modify my templates 2 days ago as per Custom UI - icon color change - Share your Projects! / Lovelace & Frontend - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io) but everything after that was fine. I think it’s related to 2022.2…

I would check scripts which includes condition statement, apparently something is wrong there.

pedolsky · February 6, 2022, 11:42am

So what is the latest version of your template code?

dbrunt · February 6, 2022, 7:21pm

Latest version of my template code? I’m not understanding that question… Where do I look?

dbrunt · February 6, 2022, 7:25pm

I had a new variation of the error start at 8:30 pm last night in addition to the original post when my medication reminder kicked in.

~~I mean the template code In the link you posted I couldn’t find the result. Which templates are not working?~~ Ok, thanks.

pedolsky · February 6, 2022, 7:51pm

Have you shortened the blueprint because I don’t see the repeat and choose action. If it is only a copy accident I would agree that it could be caused by the 2022.2.2 version.

I’ve re-enabled all other automations and the errors have stopped.
That is the only automation triggering it. Now, why is that event firing every 10 seconds…

pedolsky · February 6, 2022, 8:22pm

The error message suggests that an entity does not exist.

dbrunt · February 6, 2022, 8:58pm

I’ve left the original pre-blueprint automation disabled and downloaded the new blueprint from Garbage-Collection, configured the automation from it and HA is happy with it - no errors.
Original automation:

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: garbage_collection_loaded
    event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.recycling

New blueprint:

They look the same to me. So I re-enabled the original automation and now no errors except for 156 when HA starts. WTH? Why before was there the repetition every 10 seconds but not now?
Now to figure out why there’s 156 at startup…no biggie though. Thanks for helping me work through this!

dbrunt · February 6, 2022, 9:31pm

I changed the holiday sensor from partofthething / Next Holiday Sensor to bruxy70 / Holidays and the 156 errors at startup are now gone also.

anon63427907 · February 6, 2022, 11:13pm

Actually, automation is not triggered at that rate, core is trying to evaluate the template and failing to do, maybe, automation would not do anything but template should be resolved to decide.

dbrunt · February 7, 2022, 8:47am

I could not figure out the source for the multiple triggers other than they were 156 every 10 seconds and could not figure out a rhyme or reason. The errors are gone now after the above changes so I will let sleeping dogs lie…

Thanks!!!
