Light automation on lux

Configuration
1

Greetings.

Iam trying to get my automation on living room lights going on lux.

I have a few virtual switches that I want to block the scripts from running and only when at least one are home.
But I am getting an error that doesn’t make sense to me.
“Message malformed: must contain at least one of below, above.”

Some how so doesn’t it want me to have a limit on 0 - 850 on the lux for the script. Why??

Thanks alot!!

Iam going to test it asap :slight_smile:

Iam currently doing my best to migrate from domoticz to home assistant for the second time.
The yalm are not sticking that good as lua in my head. But I guess that I need to work a lot more in that.

Home Assistant uses YAML like a hierarchical form. The hierarchy is defined by indentation.

I understand the basics of it, but it feels easyer with a script where you define local attribute and then a few “if” and "then"´s.
I find it easyer to have everything in scripts thats room and action defined as Envirement_livingroom.lua / tv_livingroom.lua to start the scene to watch tv.

My next problem are that Iam making an automation, but after that nothing happen lol
This are in the automations.yalm

- id: '1668701239641'

    device_id: 2b4bac3741e75a28dcdb424d3c5b1a20
    entity_id: light.golv
    domain: light
  mode: single

After i press the off button the lamp stays on. Ive reloaded the automations in configuration.

I also try to make an automation and include it in the configuration.yalm

automation: !include Sovrum_switch.yalm

And again nothing happens when i press the switch.
Ive tryed to have it to a boolean switch and its the same there.

I am trying to get the switch to toggle a virtual switch that will halt my environment scripts in the rooms for when we go to sleep.

Do I need to create a script that calls on automations or how do I triger them???

Regards Magnus

automation: !include Sovrum_switch.yalm

It’s yaml not yalm.

Thanks, changed that but still the same problem.
