Configuration

What could be causing the Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘action’][0][‘snapshot_entities’] error on my automation?

Also you don’t include the scene. bit on the scene id when you save it I don’t think so I’ve taken that off.

That looks right to me, any errors in the logs? Also are you sure that your triggers are right? You have entity_ids where device_ids should be.
