Configuration

I have an input_select where I added a few light entities, i am getting an error while making a call like this

service: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: "{{ states('input_select.basement_remote_active_entity') }}"

The error message received is below

Failed to call service light.turn_on. Template rendered invalid entity IDs: unknown

Here is my input_select

remote might be what you intended but is NOT what you called the input_select. Look again, that’s an r not a t :wink:
