Can't trigger Abode quick action

Configuration
1

Hello all,

As the subject say, I am struggling to get an Abode quick action to trigger. Based on the documentation it should only need entity_id as an argument.

alias: Abode quick action test
  sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: binary_sensor.outside_front_lights_on
    service: abode.trigger_quick_action

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This looks like a script. Any errors in the log when you go to run it? Also I’m guessing it’s just a pasting error, but in case it’s not, alias needs to be aligned with sequence. The full script should look like this:

script_name:
  alias: Abode quick action test
  sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: binary_sensor.outside_front_lights_on
    service: abode.trigger_quick_action

Have you tried calling the service in Developer Tools > Services?

For some reason I was never able to get an Abode quick action to trigger so I accomplished the same thing I wanted to do exclusively in HA…

- id: '1573064143438'
  alias: Motion on driveway turns on lights
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.aarlo_motion_driveway
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
    - before: sunrise
      condition: sun
    - condition: or
      conditions:
      - after: sunset
        condition: sun
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: switch.outside_front_lights
    service: switch.turn_on
  - delay: 00:20:00
  - data:
      entity_id: switch.outside_front_lights
    service: switch.turn_off

Thanks!
