Hi all, complete novice here. Trying to make my first script. I’m trying this one however am getting an error when attempting to save.
I’ve tried removing the first line and then I get the following error:
Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 2: required key not provided @ data[‘command’]
Might need an alias ?
lg_toggle_power:
alias: LG Toggle Power
sequence:
- service: media_player.toggle
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
Same error when attempting to save the script.
Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘lg_toggle_power’]
I must be doing something really basic (and obvious) wrong. Is it where I’m editing the script?
Doing it from the UI, Configuration, Scripts, New Script, Edit in YAML, Save Script.
alias: lg_tv
sequence:
- service: media_player.toggle
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
mode: single
or
alias: lg_tv
sequence:
- service: media_player.toggle
data:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
mode: single
and when you want to call the service directly from lovelace (without a script), for example from a button
it would be
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: media_player.toggle
service_data:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
Thanks everyone. Issue ended up being related to a corrupt configuration. scripts weren’t saving correctly.
Hi @Holdestmade
Thx for this! Works like a charm!
Now i want to put it a set further
I want 3 scripts:
Is that possible with webos or not?
Thx for your help
Yes that should be possible
For the first 2, in your scripts, first turn on the TV, then you’ll probably need a delay to wait for the TV to power up and be ready, then call the media_player.play_media service as described here:
For the 3rd, do the same but just turn on your shield
ok but what do i do then with media_player.play_media
media_content_id: “netflix”
media_content_type: “source”
Something like that?
Just tried this, this works:
service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id: media_player.monitor
data:
source: Netflix
Make sure your sources are setup and in the source_list (viewable in dev tools states)
Cool thx !
One more question
Now it looks like this, the script
##############################
## Netflix aanzetten
##############################
netflix_aanzetten:
alias: Netflix aanzetten
icon: "mdi:netflix"
sequence:
- service: media_player.toggle
entity_id: media_player.living_tv
- delay: 00:00:02
- service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_tv
data:
source: NetflixBefore i added the select source, i could use the script to turn on / off
How will that react now?
Cause i added the select source, or doesnt it do any harm?
If its state is off now, it will turn on and select source netflix
if its state is on now, it will turn off and select the source too ?
It should be OK, depending on whether the TV turns back on when the select source is called ?
Problem is if you run this and netflix is playing, then you run another script to watch another source, it will turn the TV off
You may need a turn and and off script.
You could either have separate buttons to call them or you could set up a template switch to run the on and off actions
Thats true.
When tv is on, and i run script to watch netflix it will turn off instead of switching sources
However, if the tv is on (source tv or netflix) we will probablhy dont use the script to change sources, once the tv is on
i’m not sure yet
For now i’m still struggling with the source he doesnt select, propably the delay is too short
So how would you do it? A turn on/off sciprt, or having separate buttons or with a template switch
Whats the best route to go
Turning on/off we will mostly use google to call the script,
If you just use google to call them, I’d setup scripts to turn on for each of the sources, just tv on and tv off.
I’d also have a button card with buttons to call all the scripts
You’ll need to experiment with the delay, my tv needs ~9 seconds before its ready
Yeah working, with 15 sec delay
Will do as you say use google and buttons to call the script
Have a look here, might be of some use:
Cool! Didnt know of that one, thx !
I changed the scripts, cause it was sometimes putting on when off and vice versa
This is what i have so far but i get errors

Think you need to add target:
Have a look at the scripts docs there’s examples there
Fixed it
