Hi All,
I love the new options for automation and script. I wondering if this will work also:
Within the action a service call and then a choose option. Will this work or not?

Yes, that should work, but that’s the hard way to do something that can be done in a single service_template.
- service_template: >
{% set holiday = states('sensor.holiday')|lower %}
{% if holiday in ('christmas', 'halloween', 'kingsday', 'birthday') %}
script.kitchen_{{ holiday }}_turn_on
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.node_16', 'off') %}
script.kitchen_seeling_turn_off
{% else %}
script.kitchen_normal_turn_on
{% endif %}

I already have it this way. What i want to try is some conditions and within the conditions later on create some if else statements. Every color scene have some specific rules and conditions also. Otherwise it will become a big if else lalalala statement
Yep there are pluses and minuses to both solutions. Use what you’re most comfortable with and works best for you. I was just pointing out an alternative solution.
Even those the choose option has only been available for a couple of days, I can already see people are gravitating to it when other, potentially simpler, solutions are, and have been, available. I guess choice is good!

haha. Its fun to create a good if else etc… its more complex and you have to do lot yourself.

Finally this is the automation. Inside the choose part there are if statements. Will be a challenge to build this all into a if statement without choose new feature. Now I can remove the script part. Less files and everything together in 1 file… makes life easier haha

Just a quick question:
is it possible to put multiple conditions in a “choose”?
Sure, you can put as many conditions in a choose as you like:
action:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: person.me
state: 'home'
- condition: time
after: '06:00'
sequence:
- service: script.do_stuff
