Boolean triggering script

Configuration
1

To start with I want to apologise if this is posted in the wrong place I am quite new to HA and to the HA community.

I’ve recently begun to explore scripts and input booleans and I thought I had a handle on how to use them and then I tried to put together what I thought would be a simple automation to trigger scripts I had created based on a toggle input boolean… and then it straight up didn’t work.

It would be great if someone could help explain what I’m doing wrong here and educate me on how best to overcome this issue in the future.

What I am trying to Automate: I have a script that I have created to change my Ecobee thermostat service “fan run time” to 60min; and a second script that changes the thermostat service ‘fan run time’ to 0min. I have also created a toggle input boolean which I want to run the “60min” script when it is turned on, and run the “0min” script when it is turned off.

I have tested both the scripts and they trigger the correct service and each runs correctly.

However below is my apparently broken ass attempt at automating this task as it does not run.

Automation:

id: '1647867776674'
  alias: Ecobee Fan On
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.ecobee_fan_on_off
    to: 'On'
    from: 'Off'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: script.ecobee_fan_on
  mode: single
- id: '1647868083512'
  alias: Ecobee Fan Off
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.ecobee_fan_on_off
    to: 'Off'
    from: 'On'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: script.ecobee_fan_off

Scripts:

ecobee_fan_on:
  alias: Ecobee Fan On
  sequence:
  - service: ecobee.set_fan_min_on_time
    data:
      entity_id: climate.heater
      fan_min_on_time: 60
  mode: single
  icon: mdi:hvac
ecobee_fan_off:
  alias: Ecobee Fan Off
  sequence:
  - service: ecobee.set_fan_min_on_time
    data:
      fan_min_on_time: 0
      entity_id: climate.heater
  mode: single
  icon: mdi:hvac-off

I’m completely at an impasse as to what I am doing wrong here. Could somebody please help this noob with some noob-friendly instructions on how to get this right if I’m going about it the wrong way.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Input_boolean states are on and off not On and Off

Make it a habit to look in the Developer tools for states instead of using Lovelace. Lovelace change some states depending on the type and capitalize words to make it look better

THANK YOU! SO MUCH HELLIS!!!

Omg I’m sure this will be the first of many moments where miss a simple element of code but its a good reminder to look at it line by line and refer to the developer notes.

Thank you again it works PERFECT now.
