Automation suddenly not triggering

Configuration
1

HA version 2021.4.6

I have a simple automation to detect when my EV is charging and disable the house battery from discharging. It was working perfectly until a week ago. I have checked the Logbook and the binary sensor is working but it is not triggering the automation.

Any ideas greatly received.

check your logs for any errors.

but try removing the extra “data_template:” line from the service call.

it’s not a template so it’s not needed and I’m not sure if that would cause any issues or not.

action:
  - data:
      entity_id: input_number.solax_battery_discharge
      value: 0
    service: input_number.set_value

You’re totally right @finity! According to the documentation if both data and data_template are set, data has precedence. :slight_smile:
