[SOLVED] Log filling up with an error

Greetings:

I am running OpenUV and have an automation to update it. My logs are filling up with

So what does your automation look like?

- id: '1548712369563'
 alias: Update OpenUV every 30 minutes during the daytime
 trigger:
 - hours: ''
   minutes: /30
   platform: time_pattern
   seconds: ''
 condition:
   condition: and
   conditions:
     - condition: sun
       after: sunrise
     - condition: sun
       before: sunset
 action:
 - service: openuv.update_data

Have you tried without the hours and seconds options?

Also note the single quotes around the minutes pattern.

 trigger:
   platform: time_pattern
   minutes: '/30'

I have not! Thank you! Will give that a try and report back to close the loop.

Looks like that change did it. Thanks! I appreciate the assist.

No problem. Others may find it useful if you mark the post solved.

I am having the same issue but for the life of me cannot find the part that is wrong…

When do you think the garage door reset automation triggers?

Hmm, I had rewrote it after my upgrade from 0.69 to 0.86 as it was throwing a format error (was time). It is suppose to work as if it sees the switch ‘on’, wait 4 seconds then turn off.

before the 0.86 update…

- id: '1544978233172'
  alias: Garage Door Reset
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    seconds: /4
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: switch.garageswitch_switch
    state: 'on'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.garageswitch_switch

I figured that the internal one had done it correctly but I just the below version and the errors are gone… guess I just needed to see it in a message on home-assistant board, lol. I’ll have to test is later to make sure it still works.

- id: '1548631482714'
  alias: Garage Door -Reset
  trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    seconds: '/4'
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: switch.garageswitch_switch
    state: 'on'
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off

The way you had it originally it would trigger every minute when the seconds = 04. The way you have it now it will trigger every 4 seconds (then check the condition).

It would be less load on the cpu if you did something like this;

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: switch.garageswitch_switch
    to: 'on'
    for:
      seconds: 4

Thank you. The purpose of this it to manage my ‘rigged/diy’ garage door opener. If the switch is on, wait 4 seconds and turn it off.

Just so I understand, so I would remove the condition I had altogether. End result being:

- id: '1548631482714'
  alias: Garage Door -Reset
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: switch.garageswitch_switch
    to: 'on'
    for:
      seconds: 4
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
