Hi All
I am just stating to figure how to carry out automations however I want to turn on two lights on one automation
I am using the below but it give me an error
Can you assist please
alias: Lights on
trigger:
platform: time
at: ‘00:00:00’
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.04200488b4e62d15d544
entity_id: switch.04200488dc4f22310bec

Please edit your post and format your code as per the blue banner at the top of the page.
However, you will need to use the list token ‘-’ for your entity ids to tell HA that there is a list of entities to turn on.
service: homeassistant.turn_on
- entity_id: switch.04200488b4e62d15d544
- entity_id: switch.04200488dc4f22310bec
Also, in future providing the actual error message in your post can assist in debugging.

Alternatively add the two lights to a group and turn the group on and off.
Hi Tom
I tried this approach and that did not switch on both entities
unfortunately I cannot give you the error message at the moment as HA has decided to tell me that I have a database image error now
I did have a stable system before I started to start on automation, so looking for a soloution to my other problem also
Thanks for the reply though

I don’t think that’s right. As far as I know you can’t have two “entity_id:” lines.
It should be like this:
alias: Lights on
trigger:
platform: time
at: '00:00:00'
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id:
- switch.04200488b4e62d15d544
- switch.04200488dc4f22310bec
