Another breaking change in the Template integration v0.117.x

Configuration
1

Does anyone know how to change this template for the upcoming changes in 0.117.x?

alias: Scan for arrive and depart
initial_state: "on"
trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.entity_id_for_bt_scanning
    to: "on"
condition:
  condition: and
  conditions:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{as_timestamp(as_local(states.sensor.time.last_changed)) - as_timestamp(state_attr('automation.scan_for_arrive_and_depart', 'last_triggered')) | float > 45 }}"
action:
  - service_template: >
      {% if is_state('script.mqtt_arrive_depart_script', 'on') %}
         script.turn_off
      {% else %}
         script.turn_on
      {% endif %}
    data_template:
      entity_id: >
        {% if is_state('script.mqtt_arrive_depart_script', 'on') %}
           script.mqtt_arrive_depart_script
        {% else %}
           script.dummy
        {% endif %}
  - wait_template: "{{ is_state('script.dummy', 'off') }}"
  - service: script.mqtt_arrive_depart_script
    data_template:
      #  {"identity":"{{trigger.entity_id.split(".")[1]}} {{as_local(states.sensor.time.last_changed).strftime("%H:%M")}}"}
      identity: >
        {% if trigger.platform == 'state' %}  
           {"identity":"{{states("sensor.entity_id_for_bt_scanning")}} {{as_local(states.sensor.time.last_changed).strftime("%H:%M")}}"}}
        {% else %}
           {"identity":"HA-start {{as_local(states.sensor.time.last_changed).strftime("%H:%M")}}"}
        {% endif %}

This is the error

@petro
You can close this one…

Okay, unless you want me to close the other. Doesn’t matter to me.

Ok close the other then…

Show the script that fails as well please. Your issue is related to the change that Jinja outputs python types instead of strings, so your automation passes a dict to the script not a steing that looks like a dict.
