Ok - New user, but making headway. This one has me stumped…
Here’s the code -
- alias: Turn On Living Room Light 1 Hour Before Sunset
trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: “-01:00:00”
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.switch.ge_unknown_type5052_id3031_switch_2
Here’s the error in bootup -
Invalid config for [automation]: Entity ID switch.switch.ge_unknown_type5052_id3031_switch_2 is an invalid entity id for dictionary value @ data[‘action’][0][‘entity_id’]. Got None (See /home/pi/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml:86)
WHY? All the examples look like this. I’m truly puzzled after 2 hours of working on it.
Also - when you set the state in the dev tools, shouldn’t that trigger the automation? Just checking. Need a way to test this stuff.
Any help much appreciated!!
