Rainbird "Template rendered invalid entity IDs:"

Configuration
22

Yes, notice how you have a lot of redundancy in that?

i simple coded

  • 3 timers (i used as trigger also)
  • monday-sunday
  • sprinkler duration time
    and built-in lot of pre-checks cause of the rainbird-limitations in webhooks and cause of our parallel usage of the rainbird app on mobile when homeassistant is not working as it should and co

for me it works now great and all trigger can be managed by lovelace now :slight_smile:

fyi, i also integrated a cleaning and filter system cause here in poland we fight against immens Mangan, Iron in the Groundwater and other stuff which i had to filter out, but this is handled in another independent automation, cause their i had to measure also some analog informations, cause i try cause of possible -35° any kind of external sensors and working outside with mechanical sensors i can simple replace

sorry, have to run, but this is the general idea

alias: Garden - Sprinkler

trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {% set time_now = now().strftime('%H:%M') %}

         or

         or

      }}

understand your intention, but i made not so good exp with foreach in homeassistant, thats why i keep this codeline as is :slight_smile:

This is what I mean

alias: Garden - Sprinkler
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: "/1"
variables:
  order: "{{ states('input_text.garden_sprinkler_order').strip() | list }}"
  day: "{{ now().strftime('%a') | lower }}"
  time: "{{ now().strftime('%H:%M') }}"
  times: >
    {%- set ns = namespace(items=[]) %}
    {%- for i in range(1,4) %}
      {% set ns.items = ns.items + [ states('input_datetime.garden_sprinkler_timer_' ~ i)|[:5] ] %},
    {%- endfor %}
  duration: "{{ states('input_datetime.garden_sprinkler_duration').split(':')[1] }}"
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >- 
      {{ is_state('input_boolean.garden_sprinkler_timer_' ~ day, 'on') and time in times }}
action:
- repeat:
    foreach: "{{ order | reject('eq', ' ') | list }}"
    sequence:
    - variables:
        active: switch.rain_bird_sprinkler_{{ repeat.item  }}
    - if:
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ is_state(active, ['on', 'off']) }}
      then:
      - service: rainbird.start_irrigation
        data:
          duration: "{{ duration }}"
        target:
          entity_id: "{{ active }}"
      - wait_template: "{{ is_states(active, 'on') }}"
        continue_on_timeout: false
      - wait_template: "{{ is_states(active, 'off') }}"
        continue_on_timeout: false

much easier to manage, all variables in the main trace shown on the trigger. Also this automation is functionally the same.
