Script and Template Light Issue

Configuration Zigbee
1

I have this UFO-R11 infrared blaster which works fine, when I send a code directly in devices → manage zigbee device
cluster: “ZosungIRControl (Endpoint id: 1, Id: 0xe004, Type: in)”
commands: “IRSend (id: 0x0002)”
→ can control my 2 remote controlled ceiling lights at once

So I thought I create a script in config/scripts.yaml and a template light.

configuration.yaml content:

default_config:

frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes/

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
template: !include templates.yaml

scripts.yaml content:

ir_send_ufor11_0:
  alias: IR Send UFO-R11
  mode: single

  fields:
    code:

  sequence:
    - service: zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command
      data:
        ieee: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (address like in the UI)
        endpoint_id: 1
        cluster_id: 57348
        cluster_type: in
        command: 2
        command_type: server
        params:
          - "{{ code }}"

Then I have a input boolean
input_boolean.wohnzimmer_deckenlampen_zustand (ceiling lights state)

templates.yaml content:

- light:
    - name: Wohnzimmer Deckenlampen
      unique_id: wohnzimmer_deckenlampen

      state: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.wohnzimmer_deckenlampen_zustand', 'on') }}"

      turn_on:
        - service: script.ir_send_ufor11_0
          data:
            code: "<on-command-string_confirmed-as-working>"
        - service: input_boolean.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: input_boolean.wohnzimmer_deckenlampen_zustand

      turn_off:
        - service: script.ir_send_ufor11_0
          data:
            code: "<off-command-string_confirmed-as-working>"
        - service: input_boolean.turn_off
          target:
            entity_id: input_boolean.wohnzimmer_deckenlampen_zustand

I have reloaded all configurations in developer tools.

In developer tools → states I can see:
script.ir_send_ufor11_0
IR Send UFO-R11
With state “unknown” (is this ok?)

Now when I try to toggle the light in the area’s UI I get a message:
“Action light.turn_off uses action script.ir_send_ufor11_0 which was not found.”

What am I getting wrong?

verify the action name in settings → developer tools → actions is correct. Select the script action, then swap to yaml mode to see the name of the action.

You should be seeing an error for that script since the code field is None…

At least give it a name… but since you haven’t provided a default in your template, you should really mark it as required as well.

ir_send_ufor11_0:
  alias: IR Send UFO-R11
  mode: single
  fields:
    code:
      name: Code
      required: true
  sequence:
    - service: zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command
      data:
        ieee: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (address like in the UI)
        endpoint_id: 1
        cluster_id: 57348
        cluster_type: in
        command: 2
        command_type: server
        params:
          - "{{ code }}"

Ok, I am using your version now and when toggling the light I get:
Failed to perform the action light/turn_on. expected dict for dictionary value @ data[‘params’]

When I use

params:
          code: "{{ code }}"

just nothing happens.

Does params expect a dictionary or a list? Your first post showed a list, now you’re using a dictionary…

Yes, the script is now there under “Actions” with the latest version I posted. But it doesn’t do anything. And I also can’t send anything there:

action: script.ir_send_ufor11_0
data:
  params:
    code: "mycode"

→ “This action requires field code, which must be provided under 'data:”

action: script.ir_send_ufor11_0
data:
  code: "mycode"

→ “Failed to perform the action script.ir_send_ufor11_0. expected dict for dictionary value @ data[‘params’]. Got None”

:smile:

I changed it to a dictionary because the error message when toggling was
Failed to perform the action light/turn_on. expected dict for dictionary value @ data[‘params’]

I’m not 100% sure what the script needs to look like, this is how I send codes successfully:

Based on what you have shared and what a few older posts show, it does look like it should be a dictionary. I thought it had been fixed, but I have a vague memory of there being an issue with using templates for sub-properties in action calls…

So, if the following doesn’t work:

service: zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command
data:
  ieee: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (address like in the UI)
  endpoint_id: 1
  cluster_id: 57348
  cluster_type: in
  command: 2
  command_type: server
  params:
    code: "{{ code }}"

Try templating params completely:

service: zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command
data:
  ieee: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (address like in the UI)
  endpoint_id: 1
  cluster_id: 57348
  cluster_type: in
  command: 2
  command_type: server
  params: "{{ {'code': code} }}"

Try the action directly in the Action tool without the templating so that you know what works in script syntax.

Perfect, this part solved it:

params: "{{ {'code': code} }}"

Works like a charm now.
Thanks a lot. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:
