Hello Everybody,
I try to create my first blueprint for control my radiators.
One in with climate and other with light (qubino)
I put in input this :
input:
climate_target:
name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
description: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
selector:
entity:
domain: climate
is_fil_pilote:
name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
description: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
default: false
selector:
boolean:
# heater qubino
heater_wire:
name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
description: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
selector:
entity:
domain: light
Then for me the input climate_target is optional if i toggle is_fil_pilote and choose the input heater_wire.
But when i want to save my automation depending of this blueprint, i have this error :
Missing imput climate_target
But i dont need it in the case i choose a qubino heater.
Is anybody has an idea to workaround please?
input:
climate_target:
name: climate
default: climate.default
But i m not sure that the great solution.

The default can be an empty dict:default: {}
I used this for a light. The choose ensure you only call the service if it’s not empty/None
blueprint:
input:
light_target:
name: Light
default: {}
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
variables:
light_target: !input light_target
action:
- choose:
- conditions: "{{ light_target }}"
sequence:
- service: homeassistant.turn_off
target: !input light_target

That didn’t work for me!

Are you sure you need the wait_for_trigger? It might already be off by the time the script runs? (It all async and NOT guaranteed to run immediately)

The light will turn off just after the wait_for_trigger. That’s part is okey. The problem are the conditions
- conditions: "{{ switch_target }}"

Ok. Just found the solution.
Doesn’t work because condititions is wating for true or false. the template "{{ light_target }}" renders a dictionary (empty if the entity is not selected).
- conditions: "{{ light_target|length > 0 }}" does the trick in this case.
That’s a working blueprint that turns the light(s) ON whenever motion is detected.

Indeed, seems like it did not like the falsy value and what I did in the end seems to be a double not
- choose:
- conditions:
- "{{ not not light_target }}"

It’s the middle of the day, so lots of movement
but this is the result of the input_numbers for each zone.
