Error in Condition

Configuration
1

Hi all,

When I try to add this to my automation, I get an error. But when I test it in the template tester, I get True/False correctly. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

# Sun Rise and Sun Set Switch Lights 
- alias: 'Turn Off Lights When Sun Rises'
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunrise
    offset: '+00:00:00'
  condition:
    condition: template
    value_template: {{ states('input_slider.cloudcover_lights') > states('sensor.yr_cloudiness') }}
  action:
    - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.outside_lights_switch

try adding ‘single quotes’ around your value_template

Try “double quotes”

That seems to get accepted. Not let’s test the function :).

Thanks!
