Try giving your automation an id:

id: 09f854dc-941f-4039-91fc-199225289be6 # any random unique sequence
alias: 1e badkamer ventilator aan en uit
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor

Didn’t work. Sorry still the same error.

Maybe it is useful to know that this automation was made within the UI.

Yeah! Thank you!

I’ve opened a PR for the doc, assuming it’s the doc that is wrong and not a code regression of sorts (but I doubt it as I have a"trace:" form in my automations since a while)

Just FYI, you need to give your automation an id if you want to use the trace troubleshooting feature.
