Hi all,
I’m using my motion sensor to turn on some ambient_lights in the flat when movement is detected. When the motion sensor detects no movement, I would like to switch off the lights that have been turned on by the previous automation.
Therefore I would like to create a scene within the automation that turns the lights on which only contains the switched off lights.
I could just create a scene for all lights in the group, but this would mean that if lights got switched off in between the on-automation and the off-automation, they would get switched on again.
So my automation looks like this:
service: scene.create
data:
scene_id: nachtlicht_lights_last_status
snapshot_entities: |
{% for state in expand('group.ambient_light') -%}
{% if is_state(state.entity_id, 'off') -%}
- {{ state.entity_id }}
{% endif -%}
{% endfor -%}
This returns the following:
Stopped because an error was encountered at 18 April 2021, 18:55:34 (runtime: 0.02 seconds)
Entity ID - light.schreibtischlampe - light.stehlampe - light.tz3000_dbou1ap4_ts0505a_level_light_color_on_off is an invalid entity ID for dictionary value @ data['snapshot_entities']
Looking at the step details in the debugger, I can see the following that got created from the template:
service: create
service_data:
scene_id: nachtlicht_lights_last_status
snapshot_entities: |-
- light.schreibtischlampe
- light.stehlampe
- light.tz3000_dbou1ap4_ts0505a_level_light_color_on_off
Any hint is highly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance!!
