Automation state condition for a light not working

Configuration
1

Hi, I have the following automation to sleep my computer at night if all the lights are off:

trigger:
  - platform: time
    at:
      - '01:30'
      - '02:00'
      - '02:30'
condition:
  - condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: light.office
        state: оff
      - condition: state
        entity_id: light.living_room_2
        state: оff
action:
  - service: script.computer_sleep
mode: single

But the conditions seem to fail even if the state is off. This is what I get from the execution log:

conditions/0/entity_id/0

Executed: September 25, 2021, 02:30:00
Result:
result: false
state: ‘off’
wanted_state: оff

Does anyone have any advice what I am doing wrong?

This is a classic mistake.

off and on are booleans.

'off' and 'on' are strings.

States are always strings. So put some quotes around your wanted states.

Have a read of this to avoid the other common pitfalls:

I thought this may be a problem. But how to put that in the visual editor? If I put quotes around the values, it will double them:

   - condition: state
        entity_id: light.office
        state: '''оff'''

If I manually edit the YAML and remove one set of the quotes and save it, it will automatically remove the other and fall back to no quotes at all. Same with double quotes.

The automation GUI automatically insert quotes, so not sure how you ended up not having them unless you edited the automation YAML

  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.nc_test
    state: 'off'
