I want to be able to set a time in the frontend using the input text component and then using that variable in my automations as an after
condition. However, no matter what I try HA does not seem to like it. Can someone show me what I’m doing wrong? This is my code…
automation:
- alias: 'Door alarm'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_sensor_sensor
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: calendar.availabilty
state: 'on'
- condition: time
after: '{{ state.input_text.after_time }}'
action:
- service: notify.sms
The value of my text input is 16:00:00
I then get the following errors. I thought it was something to do with the quotation marks but I have tried a number of different combinations and still the same thing.
