Running homeassistant (2020.12.2) on docker
I have this automation
blueprint:
name: Presence Automations
description: 'Disable automation(s) when someone arrives. Re-enable them when they
leave.'
domain: automation
input:
person:
name: Person
description: 'Select the person to be monitored.'
selector:
entity:
domain: person
automation:
name: Automation
description: 'Select the automation(s) that need to be turned off.'
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: automation
inverted:
name: Invert Blueprint
description: 'This will cause the selected automations to enable when the person
comes home, instead of disabling them as per default. This will in turn disable
the automation when the person leaves.'
default: false
selector:
boolean: {}
source_url: https://gist.github.com/dbeltman/b90156effaaa0ea963642334934e541e
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: !input 'person'

entity_id: !input 'person'
state: home

sequence:

data: {}
target: !input automation
default:
- service: automation.turn_off
data: {}
target: !input automation
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: !input 'person'
state: not_home
sequence:

data: {}
target: !input automation
default: []
Which works! However when i change the input identifier from “automation” to “target_automation”, it throws me the following error. I’m doing this to make the input identifier less ambiguous.
Invalid config for [automation]: Missing input target_automation (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 9).
Here is the changed final blueprint which throws the error (so the only difference is prepending “automation” with “target_” on 5 occasions)

In the docs they give an example as such:
~~~
input:
target_light:
name: Lights
description: The lights to keep in sync.
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
action:
service: >
{% if trigger.to_state.state == "on" %}
light.turn_on
{% else %}
light.turn_off
{% endif %}
target: !input target_light
Am i missing something?
The doc example is basically what i’m doing,but for automations.
Thanks for your help in advance
