[Solved] script with variable

Configuration
1

Hello to all,

I’m trying to use the RFPlayer to control RTS shutters. The integration works well and I can control them.

But in lovelace cards, I can’t call the service linked to the RFPlayer correctly.
So I had the idea to create a generic script to execute commands via the RFPlayer.
So I created the following script:

`alias: Action Volet
sequence:
  - service: rfplayer.send_command
    data:
      command: "{{ command }}"
      protocol: "{{ protocol }}"
      device_address: "{{ device_address }}"
mode: single
`

And then, in the development tools, in the service tab, I try to call the service as follows:

service: script.action_volet
data:
  command: {% OFF %}
  protocol: {% RTS %}
  device_address: {% A1 %}

But, i always have this type of error :

Do you have any idea of the reason why my variables are not correctly passed to the service during the service call ?

Thank you for any help.

Here’s the way I do it (as separate tap_actions and double_tap_actions that call the same script):

                          double_tap_action:
                            action: call-service
                            service: script.good_night_02
                            service_data:
                              lights_wait: '0'
                              in_bed_wait: '0'
                          tap_action:
                            action: call-service
                            service: script.good_night_02
                            service_data:
                              lights_wait: '10'
                              in_bed_wait: '15'

…and here’s the script itself:

good_night_02:
  alias: "timed lights off & in_bed indicator"
  description: "wait, turn lights off, wait, turn on in_bed_indicator"
  fields:
    lights_wait:
      description: "time in seconds to delay lights off"
      example: "30"
    in_bed_wait:
      description: "time in seconds to delay in_bed indicator"
      example: "30"
  mode: queued
  sequence:
    - service: input_select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: input_select.good_night_phase
      data:
        option: lights
    - delay:
        seconds: "{{ lights_wait }}"
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      target:
        entity_id:
          - group.downstairs_lights
    - service: input_select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: input_select.good_night_phase
      data:
        option: bed
    - delay:
        seconds: "{{ in_bed_wait }}"
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id:
          - input_boolean.in_bed
    - service: input_select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: input_select.good_night_phase
      data:
        option: idle

The {% %} is used to designate a statement / control structure. A control structure refers to all those things that control the flow of a program - conditionals (i.e. if/elif/else), for-loops, as well as things like macros and blocks. On their own, as you have used them, they do not return a value. For
basic values you can just type them as-is, you do not need to wrap them in any kind of designator.

service: script.action_volet
data:
  command: OFF
  protocol: RTS
  device_address: A1

Thx Didgeridew

In fact, the solution were simpler than I imagined.

Top ! Merci pour le boulot. Je n’avais pas vu
Même si cela fonctionne avec le script, c’était dommage de ne pas pouvoir appeler directement.
Testé à l’instant et cela fonctionne parfaitement.
