I’m trying to make a variable before/after condition, but can’t get it to work.
I tried (with input_datetime):
- id: 'Klimatisierung_Away_Mode_off_Tag'
alias: Klimatisierung Away Mode OFF Tag
trigger:
- entity_id: group.people
platform: state
from: not_home
to: home
condition:
- conditions: time
after: "{{ input_datetime.sz_heizung_tag }}"
before: "{{ input_datetime.sz_heizung_abend }}"
action:
- service: climate.set_away_mode
data:
entity_id: climate.schlafzimmer
away_mode: false
- delay: 00:00:01
- service: climate.set_temperature
data_template:
entity_id: climate.schlafzimmer
temperature: "{{ states.input_number.sz_t_tag.state }}"
The strange thing is, the automation DOES work technically. It does what it’s supposed to. If I come home between these times (which I can set from lovelace), the temperature gets set correctly. BUT when I check the configuration, this is the result:
Invalid config for [automation]: expected a dictionary @ data[‘condition’][0][‘conditions’][0]. Got None extra keys not allowed @ data[‘condition’][0][‘after’]. Got None extra keys not allowed @ data[‘condition’][0][‘before’]. Got None required key not provided @ data[‘condition’][0][‘condition’]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 65). Please check the docs at Automation - Home Assistant
I also tried with input_number:
condition:
- condition: time
after: "{{ states.input_number.01.state }}:{{ states.input_number.02.state }}:00"
before: "{{ states.input_number.03.state }}:{{ states.input_number.04.state }}:00"
… which results in:
Invalid config for [automation]: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘condition’][0][‘after’]. Got None
extra keys not allowed @ data[‘condition’][0][‘before’]. Got None
not a valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘condition’][0][‘condition’]. Got None
required key not provided @ data[‘condition’][0][‘entity_id’]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 65). Please check the docs at Automation - Home Assistant
input_datetime does work as a trigger, without any problems when checking the configuration:
- id: 'Klimatisierung_Schlafzimmer_Tag'
alias: Klimatisierung Schlafzimmer Tag
trigger:
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.time') == (states.input_datetime.sz_heizung_tag.attributes.timestamp | int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', False)) }}"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.people
state: home
action:
- service: climate.set_temperature
data_template:
entity_id: climate.schlafzimmer
temperature: "{{ states.input_number.sz_t_tag.state }}"
Any suggestions what I could do?!
EDIT:
This works flawlessly:
condition:
condition: time
after: '08:00:00'
before: '18:00:00'
