Stuck on some conditional rendering if/else in automation

Configuration
1

Hey Folks,

So really struggling with some pretty strait forward templating in an automation, wondering if anyone can spot the obvious error?

All I’m trying to do is check a load of input_boolean are off, if so turn off another input_boolean, with an else that turns off a different one, simples, apparently not . .

Here’s the config file.

- id: '1643027728920'
  alias: Day/Away Presence
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.gareth
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.kate
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.freddie
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.guest
  condition: []
  action:
    - data_template:
        entity_id: >
          {% if is_state('input_boolean.gareth', 'off') && is_state('input_boolean.kate', 'off') && is_state('input_boolean.freddie', 'off') && is_state('input_boolean.guest', 'off')%}
          input_boolean.away
          {% else %}
          input_boolean.day
          {% endif %}
      service: input_boolean.turn_on
  mode: single

Thanks in advance!

Literally posted this and realised I was being an idiot, too long in other languages and using the wrong comparison operators . . . .

- id: '1643027728920'
  alias: Day/Away Presence
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.gareth
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.kate
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.freddie
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.guest
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: >
        {% if is_state('input_boolean.gareth', 'off') and is_state('input_boolean.kate', 'off') and is_state('input_boolean.freddie', 'off') and is_state('input_boolean.guest', 'off')%}
        input_boolean.away
        {% else %}
        input_boolean.day
        {% endif %}
  mode: single

An alternative is create a group containing the four input_booleans. When the group’s state is off it means all four input_booleans are off (conversely if the group’s state is on it means at least one of its members, not necessarily all, is on).

- id: '1643027728920'
  alias: Day/Away Presence
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: group.people
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: "input_boolean.{{ 'away' if trigger.to_state.state == 'off' else 'day' }}"
  mode: single

Oh that’s nice, and much neater, thanks!
