Simple blueprint bug or clumsiness

Configuration Blueprints
1

I have an Ikea on/Off button and try to make a blueprint for it.
To keep it simple and get some practice I wrote some thing that switches on a light when de On button is pressed and turns the light off it the On button is pressed again.

I came up with this:

blueprint:
  name: A Test
  domain: automation
  input:
    remote:
      name: Remote
      description: The remote that will control the lights
      selector:
        device:
          integration: zha
          manufacturer: IKEA of Sweden
          model: TRADFRI on/off switch
    target_light:
      name: Lights
      description: The lights that will be controlled
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light
mode: restart

variables:
  target_light: !input target_light
  command: "{{ trigger.event.data.command }}"
  cluster_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.cluster_id }}"
  endpoint_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.endpoint_id }}"

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: zha_event
    event_data:
      device_id: !input remote

action:
  - choose:
      # On Pressed
      - conditions:
          - "{{ command == 'on' }}"
          - "{{ cluster_id == 6 }}"
          - "{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}"
          - condition: state
            # this troubles me
            entity_id: !input target_light
            state: "off"
        sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            target: !input target_light
      # On Pressed
      - conditions:
          - "{{ command == 'on' }}"
          - "{{ cluster_id == 6 }}"
          - "{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}"
          - condition: state
            # this troubles me
            entity_id: !input target_light
            state: "on"
        sequence:
          - service: light.turn_off
            target: !input target_light
      # Off Pressed
      - conditions:
          - "{{ command == 'off' }}"
          - "{{ cluster_id == 6 }}"
          - "{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}"
        sequence:
          - service: light.turn_off
            target: !input target_light

It doesn’t work. I see the blue print in my blueprints list. I create an automation but it is not visible in the automations page.

But…
if I change

- condition: state
   entity_id: !input target_light
   state: "on"

to:

- condition: state
   entity_id: light.hue_office_huelight
   state: "on"

All is fine. So how can I use the target_light from the selection in the state condition?

You’re using a target selector. You’d have to use an entity selector if you want to put the entity_id in a condition.

So either switch to a entity selector or build a template condition instead.
