Template Light - Strange behavior

Configuration
,
1

I’m trying to create a template light for my hue bulbs.

The situation is the following:

I got a controllable switch (switch.schlafzimmer_bett_links) that can power of the outlet which the hue bulb (light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links) is connected to.
To turn on the Hue bulb i need to turn on the switch and then turn on the hue bulb (with the parameters i want to have like brightness, color etc.)

At the moment i have the following configuration:

- platform: template
  lights:
    schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links_kombiniert:
      friendly_name: "Schlafzimmer.Nachttisch (links)"
      level_template: "{{ state_attr('light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links', 'brightness')|int(100) }}"
      temperature_template: "{{ state_attr('light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links', 'kelvin')|int(6500) }}"
      color_template: "{{ state_attr('light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links', 'hs_color') | float([28.327,64.71])}}"
      value_template: >-
        {% if is_state('switch.schlafzimmer_bett_links', 'on') %}
          {% if is_state('light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links', 'on') %}
            on
          {% else %}
            off
          {% endif %}
        {% else %}
          off
        {% endif %}
      icon_template: >-
        {% if is_state('switch.schlafzimmer_bett_links', 'on') %}
          {% if is_state('light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links', 'on') %}
            mdi:lightbulb-on
          {% else %}
            mdi:lightbulb-off
          {% endif %}
        {% else %}
          mdi:lightbulb-off
        {% endif %}
      turn_on:
        - service: switch.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: switch.schlafzimmer_bett_links
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 0
            milliseconds: 2500
        - service: light.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links
      turn_off:
        service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: switch.schlafzimmer_bett_links
      set_level:
        service: light.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links
          brightness: "{{ brightness }}"
      set_temperature:
        service: light.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links
          color_temp: "{{ color_temp }}"
      set_color:
        service: light.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links
          hs_color:
            - "{{ h }}"
            - "{{ s }}"

My problem is the following:

Turning the template light on with the created entity, the turn_on block is working like expected.

But when i go to developer tools → services and try to turn the light on the way, i can only turn it on when i do not have any data like brightness set.

This works:

service: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links_kombiniert

While this does not even turn the switch on, nothing happens.

service: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: light.schlafzimmer_nachttisch_links_kombiniert
data:
  brightness: 100

Once the hue-light is turned on, i can set parameters through developer tools → services.

I tried any possible solution i can imagine but i have no clue why its not working.

Help is really appreciated :slight_smile:
