Error extra keys not allowed @ data['option']

Configuration

I’m getting the error:
Update Generator Input On Start: Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 2: extra keys not allowed @ data['option']

I have double checked my indentation and variable names. I’ve also searched around the forums, I’ve found the similar error posted but the solutions haven’t been applicable. I’m perplexed what I’m doing wrong here but my hunch is there’s something simple I’m not seeing. Anyone?

- alias: Update Generator Input On Start
  trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  action:
  - delay: 00:00:10
  - service: automation.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: input_select.generator_start_stop
      option: >
        {{ states('sensor.generator_start_stop') }}
  id: 976e469b43224fb088f1d20c080be8da

You’re using the automation.turn_on service, but it looks like you want something else - maybe input_select.select_option?
