Can’t execute script in package

1

I am trying to create a package that translates my simple ceiling fan with three speeds (via remote) as a HomeAssistant-fan.
I have created a fan template that controls the fan via various scripts. Unfortunately these scripts are not found.

Error when calling the service fan/turn_on. Unable to find service script.wohnzimmer_fan_switchon

But the script exists. I’ve been tearing my hair out for two weeks now. Can anyone help me? What’s wrong with this package?

Are you able to run those scripts manually from Developer? If not then you can’t run them via a template either. If both can’t find them then check your logs to see if the scripts aren’t loading because of a problem.

the only thing I see is that your indentation under the “script:” header is different from the ones above. That might cause issues.

try moving everything under “script:” back to the left 2 spaces:

script:
  wohnzimmer_fan_switchon:
    alias: Ventilator einschalten
    sequence:
    - alias: Ventilator auf low schalten
      service: wohnzimmer_fan_low
    - alias: Status auf on setzen
      service: input_boolean.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.wohnzimmer_fan_state
    - alias: Prozent auf 33 setzen
      service: input_number.set_value
      target:
        entity_id: input_number.wohnzimmer_fan_percentage
      data:
        value: 33
    mode: single

  wohnzimmer_fan_switchoff:
      sequence:
.

My goodness, that was a tough one. Some lines of it I had apparently from old tutorials and I fear I will never really understand YAML.
In the end, I clicked most of it together in the script editor to get the indentations right. Sometimes something is indented, sometimes a dash is put in front of it. This has nothing to do with the other programming languages I usually use. :slight_smile:

And such error messages are not very helpful either. Sigh.

Got None. (See ?, line ?).

But here it is, this code works. Maybe someone can do something with it.

Now I have also slowly understood that a script in which there is even a small error is not even recognized and immediately acknowledged with "Unable to find service ".

I have shortened the code even further and improved the functionality. Switching on and off are now decoupled from the speed. I.e. if you switch off at 100%, it will be set to 100% again when you switch on. If you pull the slider to 0%, the fan is switched off.

Hi, could you help me with this script ? I want to use it to control a AC fan. (5 settings based on xx %)

I tried pasting the code into “scripts” (menu automations and scripts) , but immediately got an error “Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘input_boolean’]” Or how do I go about this?

Also, I need to change the entity id’s I guess ? Anything else I need to consider?
