This topic is part of the community-driven cookbook where you can find other topics you might be interested in or might like to contribute to.
Spaces at the beginning of the line are critical in yaml, and people trying to help you may want to copy your code so that they can try it out themselves, so please format it correctly when you are posting.
Use the preformatted text tool (</> in the edit post toolbar). If it is not immediately visible, it will be in the cogwheel menu.
Alternatively you can use three backticks (the key is on the far left, 2nd row on en keyboards) on their own line above and below the code. That is ```, newline, type or paste your code, newline then ```
Code should look like this:
alias: "[Devices] Dell on"
description: >-
Turns on Dell every night at 1:00. Turned off again by reset at 4:00. Does not
run if Away Mode is on.
trigger:
- platform: time
at: "01:00:00"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.away_mode
state: "off"
action:
- service: light.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.study_socket_1
mode: single
