Automation With boolean

Configuration
1

Hello, I would like to create an automation that only works with Input boolean on.

when i’m on vacation i want the shutters to go up later.

I leave the condition out, everything works.
with condition, nothing works. how so? according to the manual, I actually did everything right.

input_boolean:
  vacation_mode:
    name: Urlaub
    initial: on

automation :
- id: '15142'
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: "10:00:00"
    condition:
      condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.vacation_mode
      state: "on"
  action:
    - service: cover.open_cover
      target:
        entity_id: cover.living_room

Does somebody has any idea? thank you in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Line up the first condition line with trigger

if you have a recent version of HA you can show the trace of the automation.
there will be more information to help help you there :slight_smile:

I’m not really getting any further right now, can you give me a tip as you mean that? I’ve been hanging on the conditioner for hours and my head is smoking :sweat_smile:

Thank you very much, that would be cool to debug. check it out when I’m at home :slightly_smiling_face:

They mean exactly what they said: line up the the first condition line with trigger.

automation :
- id: '15142'
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: "10:00:00"
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.vacation_mode
    state: "on"
  action:
    - service: cover.open_cover
      target:
        entity_id: cover.living_room

For more information, refer to the example in the documentation:

You may also want to remove line


   initial: on

from your input Boolean block code. A restart of HA will turn it on.

damn, two stupid spaces were really to blame. now I feel a bit stupid, but I’ve learned something anyway, the mistake won’t happen to me again

and thanks for the hint. I only set it to “on” for testing. so that I don’t forget to turn it on when restarting and test myself even more stupid

Thank everyone. a great forum with great users :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:
