OrderedDict error creating automation

Configuration Blueprints

Hi

I’m getting an error when creating a blueprint automation, and I can’t figure out why?

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation] Blueprint Light Color by Section of Day generated invalid automation with inputs OrderedDict([(‘target_light’, OrderedDict([(‘entity_id’, ‘light.dining’)]))]): Entity entity_id is neither a valid entity ID nor a valid UUID for dictionary value @ data[‘condition’][0][‘entity_id’]. Got None

The error appears when I go to create the automation, add a light, and then click save.

This is the automation:

blueprint:
  name: 'Light Color by Section of Day'
  description: 'test'
  domain: automation
  input: 
    target_light:
      name: Light
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light  
            
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: '1'
    
condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: !input target_light
    state: 'on'
    
action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    target: !input target_light
    data:
      kelvin: 5000
      brightness_pct: 10
mode: single

The new automation is saved on the automations.yaml file, but it doesn’t appear on the gui with other automations.

automations.yaml:

- id: '1644357598514'
  alias: Light Color by Section of Day -- Dining
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: perezbalen/light_color_by_section_of_day.yaml
    input:
      target_light:
        entity_id: light.dining

Running: core-2021.12.7

Thanks.

I think you need to remove the entity_id in the automation. Should look like:

input:
      target_light: light.dining
