Getting Legacy Syntax error on my config

Configuration Zigbee

Hi everyone,

I am getting a Legacy Syntax error on my code. Here is the code

- platform: template
  name: Garage Door
  value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.garagedoor_sensor', 'off') }}"
  lock:
    service: switch.toggle
    target:
      entity_id: switch.garagedoor_switch
  unlock:
    service: switch.toggle
    target:
      entity_id: switch.garagedoor_switch

On the service: switch.toggle lines I am getting the error “String does not match the pattern of “LEGACY_SYNTAX^”.”

Not sure how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Are you seeing that while editing the file using the Visual Studio Code Add-on?

If so, you can safely ignore it. The Add-on uses an outdated validation plug-in that needlessly complains about things that are still supported by Home Assistant.

If you don’t want to ignore it, change service: to action:

If you have the time, you should consider converting your Template Lock’s configuration to modern format (it’s currently in legacy format). Refer to the documentation for more details.
