this is how it looks, but in the info there is that number.
I named all scripts with the Alias to the human Text, don’t know why some scripts have such numbers!
where can i rename them?
Go to Developer Tools > States, enter script in the “Filter entities” field. The underlines names it shows represent the entity_id of each script.
Notice that the first script’s entity_id is script.1627221957315 but its name is “toggle_two_switches”. If I look in Configuration > Scripts, it appears as “toggle_two_switches”.
i renamed the scriptes in the script.yaml (before your post) , now they are with the right names.
the automation look like this but doesn’ work:
alias: Partyraum Licht an aus
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_lichtschalter
from: 'off,on'
to: 'on,off'
condition: []
action:
- service: >-
{{ 'script.partyraumbeleuchtung_default' if trigger.to_state.state == 'on'
else 'script.partyraumbeleuchtung_standby'}}
data: {}
mode: single
when i start the script manually they work.
I also restarted HA.
That’s good news.
The from and to have incorrect values:
They should be lists:
from: ['off', 'on']
to: ['on', 'off']
However, that not your fault. If you are using the Script Editor, it automatically changes a list to a string of comma-separated items. It’s a bug.
Try this format and see if the Script Editor leaves it undisturbed or converts it improperly:
from:
- 'off'
- 'on'
to:
- 'on'
- 'off'
the editor makes it like this:
from:
- 'off'
- 'on'
to: 'on,off'
but it works
Glad to hear it.

thank you very much!
At the side of the Lightswitch there is a little switch for turning on all lamps to 100% (9x 7W LED)
the automation for this mode is easy and works.
But how can i start a timer of 15min. when the entity partyraum_pir toggles from off to on?
With this i want to turn on 2 Lamps (call a script) only if the Lightswitch is off.
This should help you get started. It starts a 15-minute timer when the binary_sensor changes state from off to on.
alias: example 1
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_pir
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: timer.start
target:
entity_id: timer.your_timer
data:
duration: '00:15:00'
What do you want to happen when the timer finishes counting down 15 minutes? Call a script?
yes, after 15min script.partyraumbeleuchtung_standby should be called.
purpuse is to act like a motion detector if someone goes into the room.
entity_id: timer.your_timer
do i have to define this before? can i use other name like partyraum_timer?
alias: Partyraum_timer
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_pir
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: timer.start
target:
entity_id: timer.partyraum_timer
data:
duration: '00:00:15'
i get an error message: Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘trigger’]
I have tried to make a new script. or does it have to go into configuration.yaml?
The example I posted is an automation, not a script.
If you attempt to put the automation’s code into a script, you will get the error message:
extra keys not allowed @ data[‘trigger’]
because trigger is not a valid option for a script.
ok, as an automation i get following error message:
There was an error converting to YAML: YAMLException: unacceptable kind of an object to dump [object Undefined]
Obviously you made a mistake with wherever you put the automation. However, I can’t guess what you did based on that error message.
well, that error accurs when i trie to use the yaml editor.
If i write it with notepad into automation.yaml and reload it, it is ok.
But: the state is alwas on! I can see in the log that it have been often triggered, but it never turnt to off state!
for testing i set the time to 15sec.
The state of what is on?
You do realize that the example I posted for you simply starts a timer, right? That’s all it does and nothing more.
You have to add an automation that does something (like calls a script to turn off the two lights) when the timer finishes.
alias: 'example 2'
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: timer.finished
event_data:
entity_id: timer.partyraum_timer
action:
- service: script.your_script
Hi, i got it running (and learning thanx to your help!):
In configuration.yaml:
timer:
partyraum_timer:
duration: '00:00:15'
In Automation.yaml:
- id: '1638036241709'
alias: Partyraum Licht voll
description: ''
trigger:

entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_lichtschalter_full

One thing about this motion detection must be combined with the Licht an aus:
The (alias) Partyraum_timer must be only allowed if the binary_sensor.partyraum_lichtschalter is off!
EDIT: I could manage to get also this to work:
- id: '1638123705921'
alias: Partyraum_timer
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_pir
from: 'off'

i am wondering why can i not define brightness values in % in the sript?
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id: light.partyraum_lampe1
data:
brightness: 30
i can only use values from 0 to 255 but not von 0% to 100%. it gives me an error if i replace values with %!
Now only the very last step is to do:
If person Wolfram and person Sabine are away, turn off the light completely(call a script.partyraumbeleuchtung_aus).
Use the brightness_pct option.
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id: light.partyraum_lampe1
data:
brightness_pct: 30
For more information, refer to the documentation for service light.turn_on.
ahh, ok, thanks!
I am trieng to get this with the home/away get working, but the away_timer don’t start:
in configuration.yaml i have:
timer:
partyraum_timer:
duration: '00:00:15'
partyraum_away_timer:
duration: '00:00:15'
in auomation i have:
- id: '1638192620614'
alias: Partyraum_away_timer
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: device_tracker.wolfram_handy
to: 'off'

entity_id: binary_sensor.partyraum_lichtschalter

action:
- service: timer.start

entity_id: timer.partyraum_away_timer

is the systax correct for this:
entity_id: device_tracker.wolfram_handy
to: 'off'
Change this:
- platform: state
entity_id: device_tracker.wolfram_handy
to: 'off'
to this:
- platform: state
entity_id: device_tracker.wolfram_handy
to: 'not_home'
For more information, refer to Device Tracker States
thanx, that works.
Can i also use 2 entity_id’s? like this:
- platform: state
entity_id: device_tracker.wolfram_handy
to: 'not_home'
entity_id: device_tracker.sabine_handy
to: 'not_home'
goal is to start the timer when none of both are at home
