Blueprint - automation - “Automation is unavailable”

This is a double post since I am not sure if it is directly related to the blueprint I am using or this is some other reason. What could be wrong and how can I get the “device id” see below.

I get: `“Automation is unavailable”. after recent update of HA and the automation stopped working:

When I try to change/correct the automation I get: “Message malformed: unknown device”.

the automation yaml:

Hey, is anyone able to help out?

Solution was posted on the other thread. Just for reference for anyone ending up here with this issue.

Summary: the devices that receive notifications marked as “optional” are not optional at all anymore.
