[minutes] is an invalid option for... Error

Configuration
1

Since I updated to 0.88.1 I get this error. After debugging a while with no results, I changed my config to the example from the doc:

automation:
alias: “Exterior Lighting on when dark outside”
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: “{{ state.attributes.elevation }}”
# Can be a positive or negative number
below: -4.0
action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.exterior_lighting

And I still get this error

Any automation that uses “hours” “minutes” or “seconds” in the trigger should now be “time_pattern” instead of just “time” … it was a breaking change a few versions ago.

Automations that use “00:00:00” are still just “time”

And since your example does not use time or time pattern, the error must be somewhere else.

He is clearly showing the wrong automation or the one he changed it to as he said… somewhere in his automations.yaml are automations using that… notice it doesn’t have a line number in the error…
