Syntax for imported scripts.yaml

Configuration
1

I’m trying to write a script and then add it to my configuration using script: !include scripts.yaml

I’m having a problem understanding the syntax that my scripts.yaml file needs to take.

So far I’ve written the following:

hot_water_script:
  - if:
      - alias: "If hot water on"
        condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.wiser_hot_water
        state: On
    then:
      - alias: "Override"
        service: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.wiser_cancel_hot_water_overrides
    else:
      - service: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.wiser_boost_hot_water

The aim is to have a script which I can then use to get different actions when tapping a button in Lovelace, so the script checks the state of a sensor and then calls a different button.press depending on the state.

I’ve tried a number of different syntax combinations and keep getting errors - can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Solved with some playing around, this seems to work:

  hot_water_script:
    alias: 'Hot Water Script'
    sequence:
    - if:
        condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.wiser_hot_water
        state: 'On'
      then:
        service: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.wiser_cancel_hot_water_overrides
      else:
        service: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.wiser_boost_hot_water

Also, rather stupidly realised I can build scripts in the interface without having to edit the Yaml!
