I’m trying to trigger a script when a specific MQTT message arrives, from the reading I’ve done, I think I’ve got the right information in the configuration file, I think I’ve just not worked out how to write it in YAML…
Here’s my automation section:
79 automation:
80 - alias 'Study Lights On'
81 trigger:
82 - platform: mqtt
83 topic: lightswitch/study
84 payload: 'on'
85 action:
86 service: shell_command.switch_lights_on
87 - alias 'Study Lights Off'
88 trigger:
89 - platform: mqtt
90 topic: lightswitch/study
91 payload: 'off'
92 action:
93 service: shell_command.switch_lights_off
94
95 shell_command:
96 switch_lights_on: '/root/apc.py --on 3'
97 switch_lights_off: '/root/apc.py --off 3'
The errors I’m getting now are:
2017-09-09 19:52:33 ERROR (Thread-2) [homeassistant.util.yaml] mapping values are not allowed here
in "/root/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml", line 80, column 12
2017-09-09 19:52:33 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error loading /root/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here
in "/root/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml", line 80, column 12
I’ve had loads of different errors depending on how I format the text, but I can’t work out the right way.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
