"Translation Error" in automation with Bosch Smart Home Switch

Third party integrations
1

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for this problem for days, but can’t find any clues to solve it.

After updating to 2024.4.1, my automation displays the following message in the trace timeline:

Translation error: The intl string context variable “reason” was not provided to the string “Stopped for unknown reason {reason} at {time} (runtime: {executiontime} seconds)”

I have not changed anything in the automation and it worked before without any problems.

Any hints or tips on what I can do?

Many thanks in advance.

You would need to provide some yaml for us to help.

Hello @Sir_Goodenough .

Thanks for your message.

The YAML is the following:

You are using all device triggers which are not user friendly and are very hard for me to diagnose. I don’t see a problem, though.
The error is not talking about the automation at all, just complaining about a language problem when trying to provide an error message I think. Clear the core log then run it again, see if there is another error.

Did you look at the trace and see what is working and what isn’t. That will be your best bet to fixing this. And sending me pictures of the trace is not going to help me. Also look at what it thinks the variables are in the automation when it runs, and check that the variables are what you think they are supposed to be.

I have now created a new automation and tested it. When I configure the trigger with device, the button press is recognized. But the error appears.
If I configure the trigger as a changing entity, the automation works.
If I press the switch too many times in succession, the Home Assistant crashes. It’s all very strange.
I will test further.

Thank you for your input.

So found another user posting this on Discord.
Discord.

The suggestion was for them to open a core issue for the problem. I would suggest you look to see if there was one opened. That Discord post was posted April 9.

If you don’t see one you should open an issue in frontend. Provide all the info you can including your default language settings and an automation that shows the problem, the error message, and pics of the trace and history if you can.

This should be the frontend fix for this error string:
