How to run a selective script on a certain day

Configuration
1

Hi,

For my vacuums, I have scripts for specific rooms.

On Tuesday, I want to vacuum the whole downstairs, on Saturday just want to vacuum the bedroom. Can I have 1 automation, but select script to run based on the day of the week?

- alias: Vacuum Downstairs
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: '08:30'
  condition:
    - condition: time
      weekday:
      - tue
      - sat
  action:
    - service: script.vacuum_downstairs
2

Try using this-

trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '08:00'
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: >-
              {{ now().isoweekday() == 2 }}
        sequence:
          - service: script.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: script.abc
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: >-
              {{ now().isoweekday() == 6 }}
        sequence:
          - service: script.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: script.xyz
    default: []

It is using Choose Action with a template condition to check the weekday.

Another alternative that only trigger on specific condition-

trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{ now().isoweekday() == 2 and (now().hour,now()minute) == (8,30) }}'
    id: Tuesday
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{ now().isoweekday() == 6 and (now().hour,now()minute) == (8,30) }}'
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Tuesday
        sequence:
          - service: script.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: script.abc
    default:
      - service: script.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: script.xyz

Additional note: weeks start with Monday and end on Sunday.

Thank you very much! I remember reading about this but never practiced it. This will remove several separate automations.
