IOS Shortcuts

New to HA. Trying to setup an IOS Shortcut for a simple light switch. I followed this example Siri-Shortcuts. Tried the dictionary key/value option with entity_id: switch_lamp in this case, doesn’t work. Tried the same with JSON but not sure if i formatted it correctly. { "entity_id": "switch_lamp"} as the data payload but no luck. Any thoughts? thx much.


I am typing on my phone so I can’t type well. Check out the two pictures I posted for examples.

When you are adding to the dictionary hit the “+” button and then choose “text”. The “key” should be entity_id without quotes and the value should be the actual name of the entity_id without quotes.
