Hi

I am trying to make blueprint, but I can’t seem to get it working. Can someone point me in the right direction or help?

blueprint:
  name: Motion-triggered lights
  description: Turn on lights when motion is detected
  domain: automation
  input:
    trigger:

    lights:
      name: Lights
      description: The lights that should be turned on.
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light
    time_after:

      default: ''
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: sensor
          device_class: illuminance
    illuminance_threshold:
      name: Daylight Threshold
      description: Defines the threshold of daylight below which the lights are turned on.

    color_temp_kelvin:

      description: The color temperature (in kelvin) that the lights should be set to when turned on.
      default: 3000
      selector:
        number:
          mode: slider
          min: 2200.0
          max: 6500.0

Remove this line:

automation:

If you look at the final example in the Blueprint documentation, you’ll see it doesn’t contain that line.
