Hi,
I’ve an automation for the front door that is always on and turns the porch lights on/off when the front door is operated after sun set. But occasionally we need to turn on the front porch lights and deactivate the default automation. So this is the code that I’m using:
alias: "Automation: Front Porch Lights Voice Activation"
description: ""
triggers:
- trigger: conversation
command:
- Activate front porch lights
id: sequence_on
- trigger: conversation
command:
- Deactivate front porch lights
id: sequence_off
conditions:
- condition: and
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.walk_sequence_automation
state:
- "on"
- condition: state
entity_id: sun.sun
state:
- below_horizon
actions:
- if:
- condition: trigger
id:
- sequence_on
then:
- action: tts.google_translate_say
metadata: {}
data:
cache: false
entity_id: media_player.homeserver_mpd
message: Activating front porch lights
- action: automation.turn_off
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: automation.automation_front_door
data:
stop_actions: true
- action: input_boolean.turn_off
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: input_boolean.front_door_automation_switch
data: {}
- action: switch.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id:
- switch.bulbholder02_relay
- switch.bulbholder01_relay
data: {}
- if:
- condition: trigger
id:
- sequence_off
then:
- action: switch.turn_off
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id:
- switch.bulbholder02_relay
- switch.bulbholder01_relay
data: {}
- action: tts.google_translate_say
metadata: {}
data:
cache: false
entity_id: media_player.homeserver_mpd
message: Deactivating front porch lights
- action: automation.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: automation.automation_front_door
data:
stop_actions: true
- action: input_boolean.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: input_boolean.front_door_automation_switch
data: {}
mode: single
The first part of the porch light activation is working fine. The second part for deactivation also works for the most part but when it gets to the second last part “action: automation.turn_on” the code breaks and I see following error in the traces:
I’m not really sure how to fix it and any pointers will be appreciated!
Thanks.
