HI there,
HA newbie here!
I’m trying to control my philips tv on/off setting with HA. I have now managed to create an “on” switch with a WOL config. Now, I am trying to configure the “turn_off” part of the switch.
My TV has an option for turning off from HA, by using a service call.
This works fine as automation, but when I add this to the switches.yaml like so:
- platform: wake_on_lan
name: "TV"
mac: "xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx"
host: 192.168.x.x
turn_off:
service: media_player.turn_off
target:
entity_id: media_player.55pus6804_12
My config is deemed incorrect:
Invalid config for [switch.wake_on_lan]: [service] is an invalid option for [switch.wake_on_lan]. Check: switch.wake_on_lan->service. (See ?, line ?)
I’ve tried moving the turn off commands into a script and calling the script, but as you’re also calling a service to call a script, this also fails.
Any ideas how to do this?
Kind Regards,
Eduard

Your indentation is wrong. Try:
- platform: wake_on_lan
name: "TV"
mac: "xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx"
host: 192.168.x.x
turn_off:
service: media_player.turn_off
target:
entity_id: media_player.55pus6804_12

Yes! This works!
Still sometimes forgetting the indentations; I mostly assume that when visual studio code doesn’t complain it’s OK, but apparently not
Thank you!

If you install the Home Assistant extension and set the file format to “Home Assistant”, it will complain…

Doesn’t work for me.
Switch was created, but Turn Off part does not switch off TV, only wakeup (WOL) works.
- platform: wake_on_lan
mac: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
name: "65EZ1000"
host: "COM-MID1"
turn_off:
service: remote.turn_off
target:
entity_id: remote.65ez1000_series
While this automation works fine
alias: Turn Off TV
description: ""
trigger:
- device_id: 07bfe92a154711ee022e23e2647b7e93
domain: zha
platform: device
type: remote_button_short_press
subtype: turn_off
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: remote.65ez1000_series
state: "on"
action:
- service: remote.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id:
- remote.65ez1000_series
mode: single
PS I tried media_player.turn_off
service. Doesn’t work also, while similar automation works fine.
