Error in climate programming code

Configuration
1

I can’t solve the error in the code of this automation:

alias: Splits - Programmazione riscaldamento
description: Accende e spegne il riscaldamento in modo automatico

trigger:

#   accensione
  - platform: time
    at: '18:00:00'

#   spegnimento
  - platform: time
    at: '22:00:00'

condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: time
            after: '18:00:00'
			before: '18:01:00'
#
		sequence:
		  - service: climate.set_temperature
		    data:
		      temperature: 19
		    target:
		      entity_id: 
		        - climate.split_corridoio
		        - climate.split_salone
		  - service: climate.turn_on
		    target:
		      entity_id: 
		        - climate.split_corridoio
		        - climate.split_salone
#
      - conditions:
          - condition: time
            after: '22:00:00'
            before: '22:01:00'
		sequence:
		  - service: climate.turn_off
		    target:
		      entity_id: 
		        - climate.split_corridoio
		        - climate.split_salone
#
    default: []
mode: single

The error that is reported to me is this:

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while scanning for the next token
found character '\t' that cannot start any token
in "/config/automations/Riscaldamento/Splits - Programmazione riscaldamento.yaml", line 20, column 1

Could you help me? Thanks in advance.

You switch from indenting with spaces to using a mixture of tabs and spaces at the first before: line. You need to replace the tab characters with spaces.

I replaced tabs with the × character, and the switchover point is visible here:

condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: time
            after: '18:00:00'
×××before: '18:01:00'
#
××sequence:
××  - service: climate.set_temperature
××    data:
××      temperature: 19
××    target:
××      entity_id: 
[ and so on ]

In the following screenshot, the areas shaded in green contain tab characters (which are not permitted and should be replaced by space characters).

The following is a streamlined version of your automation and does not contain any tab characters.

alias: Splits - Programmazione riscaldamento
description: Accende e spegne il riscaldamento in modo automatico
trigger:
  - id: 'on'
    platform: time
    at: '18:00:00'
  - id: 'off'
    platform: time
    at: '22:00:00'
condition: []
action:
  - if:
      - condition: trigger
        id: 'on'
    then:
      - service: climate.set_temperature
        data:
          temperature: 19
        target:
          entity_id: 
            - climate.split_corridoio
            - climate.split_salone
  - service: "climate.turn_{{ trigger.id }}"
    target:
      entity_id: 
        - climate.split_corridoio
        - climate.split_salone
mode: single

Thanks everyone. I didn’t know tabs weren’t allowed, maybe I’ve never encountered them before. Anyway, thanks again.
