I am trying to use a helper variable, text or number input, as the input for the minutes of a motion off trigger. The aim is to have an off trigger “for” condition which can be changed via another button/trigger/…
I hoped the solution is easy, following a supposed working solution presented in thread ttps://community.home-assistant.io/t/automation-trigger-for-input-datetime-for/279557/4
I tried several approaches:
text helper, for example “00:30:00” or “30”
number helper, for example 30
None of them works. However, I can read the variable correctly in the Template Editor.
Thank for the quick response. You proposed solution causes the same error. I tried this actually already.
Thanks for pointing out the lower case id issue. That, was a spelling error in my post and I corrected it.
