Automations broken after 2023.3.1

[jimmyhall82 (James)]

Help… i uploaded to 2023.3.1 today and one of my automations stopped working. Looking at the notes i dont see any reason why this would happen.

I drive the automation conditions of any state change for the other automations, this was working fine… now its not.

condition:
  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_button.add_per_input_box_cup
        state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.add_per_input_box_gal
            state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.morning_chlorine
            state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.afternoon_chlorine
            state: ""

Looks like the state: “” is no longer compatible.

alias: Auto off chlorinator
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - switch.pentair_chlor
    from: "off"
    to: "on"
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.add_per_input_box_cup
  - platform: state
    entity_id:

  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.morning_chlorine
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.afternoon_chlorine
condition:
  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_button.add_per_input_box_cup
        state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.add_per_input_box_gal
            state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.morning_chlorine
            state: ""
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_button.afternoon_chlorine
            state: ""
action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.pentair_chlor
mode: single

The conditions are not working now. The ‘not’ condition allows for any deliberate actions to control a pump, but any manual switch manipulation will automatically turn off the pump. This is working fine before the upgrade to 2023.3.1

ANy help is greatly appreciated

The way this worked before was if any of the ‘not’ conditions were the trigger, then the auto off would not work. i triggered with one of the conditions and the auto off still worked with the new update

here is a trace when triggered by the first condition in the automations which should not run the automation

tion will automatically turn off the pump. T

could it be because of what I’ve found on below?

"attribute" on automation condition lost if device "off"

Have configured an automation based on “state” of an LG TV, and conditioned by an attribute “source” value, but, if I edit the automation, or reboot HA while the device is “off” the “attribute” in “conditions” is lost. Tried to reconfigure that same condition while the device if OFF and cannot find the respective “attribute”, but, I can see all attributes listed. Haven’t tried yet, but I’m convinced this wouldn’t be an issue is using the “automations.yaml”, it may only affect those automations…
