Script: 'duplicate key' error when trying to do my 1st .yaml edit

Configuration
1

Hello all… likely to be the noob-est of noob questions so apologies but I am attempting to add coding to let me ‘boost’ a group of my Hive TRVs.

A quick search and found some coding to start with but I’ve fallen at the 1st hurdle… the coding beings with “script:” and I have a “script: !include scripts.yaml” elsewhere in the file so it is giving me a ‘duplicate key’ error. I’d be very grateful if someone could point out the error of my ways!

Many thanks in advance.

This is the test in the file:
(Hoping I have copy and pasted this correctly)

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

default_config:

# Text to speech

tts:

  - platform: google_translate

sensor:

  - platform: systemmonitor

    resources:

      - type: disk_use_percent

        arg: /config

      - type: memory_use_percent

      - type: processor_use

# script

group: !include groups.yaml

automation: !include automations.yaml

script: !include scripts.yaml

# Hive

script:

  boost_heating:

    sequence:

      - service: hive.boost_heating_on

        target:

          entity_id: "climate.heating"

        data:

          time_period: "01:30:00"

          temperature: "20.5"

You have a file called script.yaml where you should put your script

Ah… so scripts go in there! Thank you.

This line of code in your config.yaml file is basically telling it where to look to find any scripts you may have.

script: !include scripts.yaml

What you need to do is copy the code below into your scrips.yaml file and remove it from your config.yaml file.

config.yaml file content should look like this

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

sensor:
  - platform: systemmonitor
    resources:
      - type: disk_use_percent
        arg: /config
      - type: memory_use_percent
      - type: processor_use

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml

scripts.yaml file should include this

 boost_heating:
    alias: boost group hive TRV
    sequence:
     - service: hive.boost_heating_on
        target:
          entity_id: "climate.heating"
        data:
          time_period: "01:30:00"
          temperature: "20.5"

That’s brilliant thanks so much!

I’ve got this now in my scripts file:

boost_heating:
  alias: boost downstairs heating
  sequence:
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.dining_room_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"

I’d like to add more devices to run when the script is activated, can I repeat the ‘service’ line for subsequent devices as below? Seems to be the only way that doesn’t generate errors:

boost_heating:
  alias: boost downstairs heating
  sequence:
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.dining_room_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.living_room_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.kitchen_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.utility_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.hall_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"
    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id: "climate.office_trv"
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"

OK… so when I do that I get ‘duplicate key’ errors against each entity id…

No worries, they code I put (with them all as separate services) does seem to work but it is obviously a lot more cumbersome!

Is there a way I can pull the remaining time from the ‘time_period:’ and have this display somehow?

You can do it like this:

    - service: hive.boost_heating_on
      target:
        entity_id:
          - climate.dining_room_trv
          - climate.living_room_trv
          - climate.kitchen_trv
          - climate.utility_trv
          - climate.hall_trv
          - climate.office_trv
      data:
        time_period: "02:00:00"
        temperature: "25.0"

That’s great, thanks! Certainly trims down the size.
