Script, variables: Template rendered invalid entity IDs

Configuration
1

Hi everybody,

I am trying to create a script using variables; however, I get the following errors:

  • Template rendered invalid entity IDs: when I try to run that part of the script from inside the script editor
  • Fehler beim Aufrufen des Diensts script/rollerblinds_morgens_hoch. connection lost: when I run the entire script from the scripts section (translates to error calling script script/rollerblinds_morgens_hoch. connection lost)

Can you please tell me what I need to change in order for this to work? I have tried both position: "{{ hoch }}" and position: "{{ hoch | int}}" (even though the input_number is already int).

Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

(and cover.unten_arbeitszimmer_rollorblinds_vorne is not a typo in my script; I named the entity incorrectly when I set it up in zigbee2mqtt, so while it should be rollerblinds, the misspelling should not be responsible for these errors here. The entity even got auto-completed when I typed it in the script editor)

alias: Rollerblinds/Morgens/Hoch
sequence:
  - variables:
      rollo: cover.unten_arbeitszimmer_rollorblinds_vorne
      hoch: input_number.unten_arbeitszimmer_rollerblinds_alle_morgens_hoch
  - service: cover.set_cover_position
    data:
      position: "{{ hoch | int }}"
    target:
      entity_id: "{{ rollo }}"
mode: single
2 
position: "{{ states(hoch) | int }}"

Or change your variable:

  - variables:
      rollo: cover.unten_arbeitszimmer_rollorblinds_vorne
      hoch: "{{ states('input_number.unten_arbeitszimmer_rollerblinds_alle_morgens_hoch') }}"

position: "{{ hoch | int }}"
