Hi
I have a button which calls a service:
show_name: false
show_icon: true
type: custom:button-card
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: surepetcare.set_pet_location
data:
pet_name: Mosi
location: Inside
entity: binary_sensor.mosi
show_state: false
icon: mdi:tree
color: yellow
When I click, I get an error message (in Italian)
Invocazione del servizio surepetcare/set_pet_location non riuscita. connection lost
But when I go to the developer tools and test the service it works
service: surepetcare.set_pet_location
data:
pet_name: Mosi
location: Inside
Do you have any idea on what could be wrong?

Looks like it lost the connection. What happens if you put the service in a script and call the script as the tap action service?
Thanks for the quick reply.
Same as before: the script works but calling it as a tap action leads to the connection lost error:
square: false
type: grid
columns: 1
cards:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: binary_sensor.mosi
state: 'off'
card:
show_name: false
show_icon: true
type: custom:button-card
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.mosi_in_casa
entity: binary_sensor.mosi
show_state: false
icon: mdi:tree
color: yellow
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: binary_sensor.mosi
state: 'on'
card:
show_name: false
show_icon: true
type: custom:button-card
icon: mdi:home
color: green
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.mosi_esterno
entity: binary_sensor.mosi
show_state: false
and both scripts:
alias: Mosi all'esterno
sequence:
- service: surepetcare.set_pet_location
data:
pet_name: Mosi
location: Outside
mode: single
icon: mdi:cat
and
alias: Mosi in casa
sequence:
- service: surepetcare.set_pet_location
data:
pet_name: Mosi
location: Inside
mode: single
icon: mdi:cat
Even simplifying the button, yields to the same connection lost error:
show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.mosi_in_casa
entity: binary_sensor.mosi
Not a single relevant entry in the log file (even with debugging enabled)

So I had a similar issue and after I figured out what was the fault.
It is nothing to do with timeout of whatsoever. The configuration was not correct. In your case you can try “service_data” instead of “data”.
In my config it looks like this:
- type: custom:button-card
icon: mdi:stop-circle-outline
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: cover.stop_cover
service_data:
entity_id: cover.dining_room_shutter

Dear Harrer,
thanks but I don’t have any data to submit. The service has no parameters.

I have the same problem. Very strange. Other scripts work fine and can be called, but one (which is a copy of a working one) doesn’t want to run and keeps saying “connection lost”

Oh, interstingly the developer tools show me, that my entity is called
instead of what the script editor tells me:
Trying with the entity ID above it works

I have the same issue! Push!
- type: call-service
name: Open Valve for Duration
action_name: Open
service: script.open_valve_for_duration
the script is callable from scripts but the button gives me:
Failed to call service script/open_valve_for_duration. connection lost
But i then realized that in entities, the id is
but in the dev options it says:
and calling the latter works. This must be a bug.
