Input-select to set LIFX scene

I’m am trying to set the scene on a LIFX bulb when triggering and input_boolean but I’m getting the following error in the logs

2019-03-03 04:15:01 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation] Error while executing automation automation.set_scene_manaully_lounge. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: Entity ID scene.‘welcome home’ is an invalid entity id for dictionary value @ data[‘entity_id’]

The automation action is
action:
- service: scene.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: scene.{{ states.input_select.lounge_scenes.state }}

The input_select entries have no ’ around them either.

Anybody have an idea of what I’ve got wrong?

Quotation marks are required for single line templates:

entity_id: 'scene.{{ states.input_select.lounge_scenes.state }}'

a ha, around the word scene as well. I think that’s my mistake. Thanks

and yes, that was exactly the problem. I had originally placed the single quotes around the {{ states.input_select.lounge_scenes.state }} and not included the scene.

All working now, thank you so much. What little hair I had left has been given a reprieve from being pulled out
