Help with Automation Error

Configuration
1

I seem to be posting quite a bit today but hopefully someone can please help me out with this one.

I’m getting an error in the logs regarding an automation which has been fine for the last couple of days but is now producing the below error which I don’t understand.

I haven’t changed anything in the automation so I’m at a loss, so if anyone could kindly help to identify what could be causing the error?

Automation with alias 'Dark Evening' could not be validated and has been disabled: extra keys not allowed @ data['action'][0]['choose'][1]['not']. Got [{'condition': 'state', 'entity_id': 'light.xmas_tree_lights', 'state': 'unavailable'}]

Automation:

              state: false
          not:

          sequence:
            - service: script.dark_evening_xmas

I’ve now removed the not condition and changed it to two separate conditions on state on or off instead but I would still be interested to know why the original above was creating and error.

Your indentation is off and it’s missing a hyphen.

        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: input_boolean.holiday_mode
              state: 'off'
            - condition: state
              entity_id: sun.sun
              attribute: rising
              state: false
            - not:      
                - condition: state
                  entity_id: light.xmas_tree_lights
                  state: 'unavailable'
