Sensor workdays in blueprint not working

Configuration Blueprints
1

Hi,

I have this sensor in my config:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: workday
    name: workdays
    country: BE
    workdays: [mon, tue, wed, thu, fri]
    excludes: [sat, sun, holiday]

This is the blueprint that uses that sensor:

blueprint:
  name: Lights on workdays
  description: Turn lights on on workdays only
  domain: automation

  input:
    time_entity:
      name: Time
      selector:
        time:
    light_entity:
      name: Light
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light
    transition_time:
      name: Transition
      selector:
        number:
          min: 1
          max: 30
          step: 1
          unit_of_measurement: min
          mode: slider
    percent_entity:
      name: Brightness
      selector:
        number:
          min: 1
          max: 255
          step: 1
          unit_of_measurement: unit
          mode: slider

trigger:
  platform: time
  at: !input time_entity

condition:
  condition: state
  entity_id: binary_sensor.workdays
  state: on

action:
  service: light.turn_on
  target: !input light_entity
  data:
    transition: !input transition_time
    brightness: !input percent_entity

It’s not working at all, and not showing up in the UI so I think something is wrong but I can’t figure out what’s wrong.
Anyone have an idea ?

Try putting on in quotes like this:

state: 'on'

Yes, that fixed the issue. Thanks for the help.
It would be nice if we can have some sort of blueprint generator or a syntax checker.

I suggest creating your automation first and then converting it to a blueprint.
Then you would have noticed the error.
