Error with templating. Need help

Configuration

Hey guys, I am getting this error

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str
17-01-25 21:52:47 homeassistant.core: Invalid service data for light.turn_on: None for dictionary value @ data['rgb_color']. Got '33,12,255'

when i run this script.

  kitchen_stay_on:
    alias: "Keep kitchen on but change color"
    sequence:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data_template:
          entity_id: light.kitchen
          rgb_color: >
            {% if is_state('light.television', 'on') %}
              {%set values = states.light.television.attributes.rgb_color %}
              {{values[0]}},{{values[1]}},{{values[2]}}
            {% endif %}

Itā€™s telling me that it needs to be a integer and not a string but iā€™m lost at what to do.

if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks

Fixed. Thank you.

well, for the first error, that is pretty simple, you are using the service light.turn_off and you are trying to pass it an rgb_color, which it cannot take.

I think the only way to resolve that is to not try to template your services inside the script and instead template your call to a given script.

For the 2nd error, it looks like states.light.television.attributes.rgb_color returns (R, G, B) instead of [R, G, B] (I donā€™t have any light components, so I canā€™t confirm). You can get around this with some string formatting.

{%set values = states.light.television.attributes.rgb_color.strip('()').split(',') %}
[{{values[0]}},{{values[1]}},{{values[2]}}]

You helped me with the first error and almost the second. I updated the OP if you could help again.

Thanks

I believe you can either use int(values[0]) or values[0]|int to cast from string to int.

Unfortunately I am still getting the ā€œNone for dictionary value @ data[ā€˜rgb_colorā€™]ā€ error.

I donā€™t think you can programmatically access color settings in lights.
