Slider issue on 0.56.0

Configuration
1

My configuration.yaml entry

input_number:
  exhaustfanminutes:
    name: Minutes
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 30
    min: 00
    max: 59
    step: 5
  exhaustfanhours:
    name: Hour
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 0
    min: 0
    max: 6
    step: 1

Automation.

- alias: "Exhaust Fan Timer on"
  trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.exhaustventfantimer
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.switch_3   
    - delay: '{{ states.input_number.exhaustfanhours.state | int }}:{{ states.input_number.exhaustfanminutes.state | int }}:00'
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.switch_3

i want is a timer to turn on switch.switch_3 for X amount of time using slider input_number.exhaustfanhours and turn off

and im using input_boolean.exhaustventfantimer as a trigger switch… it used to work back in 0.47.0 now it doest

Your code looks ok to me. What is actually not working, do you get an error message in the log?

Replace:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
and
- service: homeassistant.turn_off

with:
- service: switch.turn_on
and
- service: switch.turn_off

not sure it will change anything, but worth a shot. Also make sure in the states tab your switch is actually called switch.switch_3.

Check the release notes.
Some input components changed.

If it doesn’t display on the frontend, then clear your browser cache. It was a known issue with 0.56.
