The "frontend.set_theme" service is not working

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:14pm

in my case, the service that changes the appearance, who is called frontend.set_theme does nothing despite pressing the call service button

so i can’t do automation to change theme e.g. depending on the position of the sun

please help in creating a working automation to change the theme

show your configuration for set_theme

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:17pm

Where can I find this configuration?

petro · July 6, 2021, 1:19pm

where ever you’re attempting to use the service… you said you tried to use the service and you failed. So what did you try?

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:23pm

In the developer tools tab and services as in the screenshot below

Changing the theme does not work in automations either

Do you have a theme called dark?

The service call is working for my day/night themes.

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:32pm

I have such themes and I would like to do automation that sets the theme dark after sunset

So how can I otherwise automatically change the theme?

Set your profile theme to ‘Backend-selected’ and try the service call again.

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:39pm

I do not have such a theme as you can see in the screenshot attached earlier, so how can I change to this theme?

tom_l · July 6, 2021, 1:40pm

Not even if you scroll up past ‘default’.

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:41pm

I have no motive above

petro · July 6, 2021, 1:41pm

what does that even mean?

tom_l · July 6, 2021, 1:42pm

Try logging out and in again:

You may also have to reset the app frontend cache.

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 1:48pm

This is a temporary solution because when you choose a different theme, this option disappears and you need to log in again to be able to change the theme again using this service So can you add theme called ‘Backend-selected’ permanently?

Congratulations!

You found a bug.

Please report it here so that it gets fixed:

I’m surprised no one else has already considering the date on that post I linked to.

akszyn_pl · July 6, 2021, 2:14pm

Error reported and please let me know if something is missing in the error description

But I can see that the problem has been ignored and immediately closed

tom_l · July 6, 2021, 2:25pm

Unfortunately your issue has been closed because you did not identify the issue correctly.

The issue is that you can not set the profile theme to “Backend-selected” after selecting another theme as it is no longer visible.

I have commented and hopefully Bram will reopen it.
