Issue with the dev

Configuration Blueprints
1

Hi,

I’m trying to make my first blueprint

This simple blueprint will regulate a switch based on a temperature sensor

I have an issue … but I don’t know where is the problem …

Could you help me ?

blueprint:
  name: Heating Virtual Thermostat
  description: Regulating of an electrical heater connected to a switch using a temperature
    sensor
  domain: automation
  input:
    sensor_temperature:
      name: Temperature sensor
      description: This dector will be used for the regulation
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: sensor
          device_class: temperature
    target_switch:
      name: Actuator
      description: Actuator to be controled
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: switch

Your blueprint defines a Target Selector named target_switch however your automation refers to it like an Entity Selector and not like a Target Selector.

If you use a Target Selector, your automation must refer to it using the target option.

    sequence:
    - service: switch.turn_on
      target: !input 'target_switch'

In addition, I believe there may be an error in the second condition in choose. It uses below: 21 but its matching Numeric State Trigger uses above: 21.

Thank you for your help works fine now :slight_smile:
