Automations.yaml throwing an error

Configuration
1

Hi,

trying to set up my first automation like this in the file automations.yaml:

- alias: 'Auto Renew SSL Cert'
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.ssl_cert_expiry
    below: 29
  action:
    service: shell_command.renew_ssl

  #Lichterkette an und aus
- alias: 'Schalte Lichterkette bei Sonnenuntergang an wenn jemand zuhause ist'
  initial_state: False
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
    offset: '-00:15:00'
  condition: or
  conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: device_tracker.404e3689e932
      state: 'home'
    - condition: state
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphoners
      state: 'home'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.Lichterkette

For some reason I get the follwing message in Home Assistant:

Thanks!

You are missing a line of code in your condition.
The format should be

condition:
  condition: or
  conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: ...

Plenty of examples here :slight_smile:

You may need ‘’ around the 29 in your trigger :

  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.ssl_cert_expiry
    below: '29'

You might also consider trouble shooting your autos one at a time.
ie: delete one until you have the other working.
