Strange error "Missing slot list {licht}" after setting up automations with the senctence trigger

Hello,
I had already set up some working automations using the Sentence trigger some time ago and have been able to even use them from my Garmin Venu 2 via HTTP WiFi requests.

Today, when I wanted to use one of those commands again, I noticed that it didn’t work.
I opened the Home Assistant logs and saw this:

So it does error out on the {licht} slot that I used in some of the commands, but not in all the ones I then tried to use.
How could I fix this?

Best regards

Why make this so complicated by combining it all in one automation. Just create one automation per sentence.

3

But would that prevent the error from appearing again?
For me, it’s better to have one big automation than 20 snaller scattered all over the place…

4

It will make it easier to find out what the issue is. You can start combining them if everything works

I have now separated them and the error is still there when triggering this automation with the command “EZ an”:

alias: Turn On Light

      - "{licht} an"

      - "{licht} pwr on"
      - "{licht} power on"
      - Turn on {licht}
action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: >
        {% if trigger.slots.licht|lower=="iris" %} light.iris {% elif
        trigger.slots.licht|lower == "kugel"%} light.kugel {% elif
        trigger.slots.licht|lower == "stehlampe"%} light.stehlampe {% elif
        trigger.slots.licht|lower == "aaron"%} light.aaron {% elif

        trigger.slots.licht|lower == "ez1"%} light.esszimmer_3 {%elif
        trigger.slots.licht|lower == "ez1"%} light.esszimmer_4 {%endif%}

It also never triggers the automation because of the error

6

It could be that there are conflicts with the built in sentences. What if you use something like
banana schmetterling {licht}

7

If i only use “{licht} pwr off” as a trigger, the error still appears although none of the default intents covers “pwr off”
