Script stopping even though I specify continue on error

Configuration

The script just stops when these scenes can’t activate. Anyone have any ideas on what I can try.

I’d check out

Without your YAML it’s hard to evaluate, but at first glance you need a secondary action when it fails.

Thank you so much for your reply. Here’s the complete script. Are any of the continue on error’s right? It doesn’t anything about a secondary action in the doc. Is that the next action? It looks to me I’m just setting a boolean within the action that is failing and then it will continue on.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and look.

From the docs…
The example below shows the continue_on_error set on the first action. If it encounters an error; it will continue to the next action.

- alias: "If this one fails..."
  continue_on_error: true
  action: notify.super_unreliable_service_provider
  data:
    message: "I'm going to error out..."

- alias: "This one will still run!"
  action: persistent_notification.create
  data:
    title: "Hi there!"
    message: "I'm fine..."

Please note that continue_on_error will not suppress/ignore misconfiguration or errors that Home Assistant does not handle.

continue_on_error only works with action actions. It does not work with a device actions. I see that you’re using scene.turn_on there, so it should be working for you. It’s possible that the scene integration is causing the problems. Try creating a script for that and using the script with continue_on_error.

So if a device does not exist anymore in a scene that’s considered a misconfiguration and will stop? I will try the nested script approach to see if that gets works.

Thank you!
