Hi all,
This is driving me insane and I’ve finally admitted defeat.
I have this (messy) flow, which turns off two local radiators when the rear door is open for more than 15 seconds and if it is open for more than 5 minutes it turns off all of the heating downstairs:
It works, the scenes are created automatically and the radiators/'stat are turned on or off, irrespective of whether the API error is showing for the first scene (the local rads) or not. 
If the door is open >15s but <5m the first scene call service node will show that it has been successfully called, as it should, >5m and it shows that an API error has occurred. Debug shows:
21/04/2021, 07:00:43 node: Turn on scene
msg : string[103]
Call-service API error. Error Message: string value is None for dictionary value @ data['preset_mode']
I also end up with the following in my HA log:

Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how I can fix whatever I’ve done wrong please?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve or clean up this mess please go ahead!
Thanks.
