Hello World test package

Configuration
1

I was creating a package to test and communicate some issues I am having.
I wanted something self contain that I could post and you guy could implement and test easily.

I thought I would create a input_select for the user to control some settings. Then a input_boolean for a virtual switch. A sensor based on the value of the input_boolean.
This is the test something that is not working in my automation calling python scripts (hello_world.py).

Right now, the switch and sensor works as expected, but the automation of just controlling the switch based on the input_select is not working. I think it is in my action. When I try and test in the developer tool-call service, it does not work. I need to get past this to demo my real world issue. :slight_smile:

I just am not seeing it.

Here is how I am calling devloper->service

Here is the entity

I can show it
