Hi,
I wanted to streamline one of my automations by introducing variables. I have read the documentation, but I might not fully understand it - obviously. 
I want to create an automation, which manages the roof top window shutters. So, I took my working Automation, changed the logic slightly and tried to introduce variables. Now, I get the error message.
Message malformed: required key not provided @ data[‘triggers’]
Can someone explain, what is wrong with my automation?

Based on sun irridiation W/m2, window shutters are opened/closed in 4 steps.
no number -> stop
0 - 150 -> fully open
150 - 300 -> 1/3-closed
300 - 450 -> 50%-closed
450 - 600 -> 2/3-closed
600+ -> 100%-closed
