Issues with heater window sensor blueprint

Configuration Blueprints
,
1

Hi community:

I want to create a blueprint for heating control for my Tado X heaters based on the state of the window sensors.
It should wait x seconds (default 5 seconds) after opening the window to turn off the heater. After closing the window it should also wait (default 5 min) until the room temperature has equalized itself.
In addition it should be possible to select in one automation e.g. 3 binary sensors and 2 heaters (one room) and the heaters should be turned off in case of one of the binary sensors is “on”.

This is my currently implemented code:

blueprint:
  name: Fenster offen - Heizung aus
  description: "Automatisierung, um Heizungen bei geöffneten Fenstern auszuschalten."
  domain: automation
  input:
    fenster_sensoren:
      name: Fenstersensoren
      description: "Wähle die Fenstersensoren aus."
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: binary_sensor
          multiple: true
    heizungen:
      name: Heizung(en)
      description: "Wähle die Heizungen aus."
      selector:
         entity:
           domain: climate
           multiple: true
    heizung_modus_speicher:
      name: Heizung-Modus-Speicher
      description: "Wähle eine Input Text Entität, um den Heizungsmodus zu speichern."
      selector:
         entity:
           domain: input_text
    wartezeit:
      name: Wartezeit (Fenster geöffnet)
      description: "Zeit, die gewartet wird, bevor die Heizung ausgeschaltet wird."
      default: "00:00:05"

Could anyone help me to get this code running?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Greetings HomeAssT1,

So the right way to write a Blueprint, (well let’s call it best practice and the method suggested in the docs), is to write an automation or script that does a simplified version of that you want first, then add the blueprint magic sauce. Getting the logic working is not always easy, and becomes obfuscated in all that variable substitution stuff, making everything frustrating.

Get what you want working with sample entities instead of inputs, then make the blueprint out of that by adding the !inputs and variables and such. Try to avoid device triggers and selectors. You can make them work, but people tend to struggle with those when dealing with them outside of the GUI editor context.
