I’m about to throw away all my electronics and go live in a cave without lights…
Why on earth are blueprints always broken?
I have one working blueprint using target selectors and actions like this:
input:
light:
name: Light(s)
description: The light(s) to control
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
action:
- service: light.turn_on
target: !input light
data:
transition: 1
But then I have another blueprint with this config
input:
target_light:
name: Light (day)
description: The light to turn on during the day
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
action:
- service: light.turn_on
target: !input target_light
data:
transition: 1
And this one is constantly giving me this when instantiated as automation Blueprint Z2M - Motion lights generated invalid automation with inputs OrderedDict([('sensor', 'binary_sensor.liiketunnistin_kaytava_occupancy'), ('target_light', OrderedDict([('device_id', 'e01956804983fd3282a532f77b28a8f1')]))]): required key not provided @ data['device_id']. Got None
Any idea what I’m doing wrong here? I have no problems creating automations by copypasting YAML or Duplicating in the UI, but with blueprints I always end up sitting in the dark after hours of debugging.
Why have you limited the binary sensor to “integration: mqtt”? (I just would have thought it easier to any device_class: motion).
Anyway I don’t have any experience playing around with mqtt (I want to tho). But maybe this will solve your problem?
blueprint:
name: Z2M - Motion lights
description: Motion sensor triggered lights with night mode
domain: automation
input:
sensor:
name: Motion sensor to use
description: Something something binary_sensor
selector:
entity:
domain: binary_sensor
device_class: motion
target_light:
name: Light (day)
description: The light to turn on during the day
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: !input sensor
to: "on"
action:
- service: light.turn_on
target: !input target_light
Use the Studio Code Server Integration, (if you don’t already) it makes finding bugs easier.
