One Automation with multiple conditions for changing light color

1

With this automation I would like, if

  • Garage open -> light is red
  • garage closed -> light green
  • Garage unknown -> yellow.

In the logs I always get the error:

Try below simplified code:


  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data:
      color_name: "{% if is_state('sensor.garage_modtm_door_state', 'unknown') %}yellow{% elif is_state('sensor.garage_modtm_door_state', 'closed') %}green{% else %}red{% endif %}"
    entity_id: light.0x00158d0003912bec_light

With color name it works fine, but why not with xy or RGB in tempalte. If I use rgb or xy color without tempalte it works .

You can replace color_name with rgb_color and specify colour values instead of colour name in the template. It would look like as below for red:

rgb_color : "{... [255, 0, 0] ...}"

green would be [0, 255, 0] and yellow would be [255, 255, 0]. You placed same xy_color value for all 3 colours in your original ask so will not see colour changing. You also had one extra elif in your template.
