Triggering an automation with input_datetime Error executing query Error saving event

Hey there,
i’ve tried to set up an MQTT automation to control my shutters, that i wake up “dynamically”. Therefore I have to setup a script, which publishes MQTT topics with a short time period (delay 3 minutes) between them.
Therefore I’ve created the following:

/config/automations.yaml

- alias: Move shutter up
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.sensor.time.state == states.input_datetime.alarm_time.state[0:5] }}'
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.shutter_wakeup
    state: 'on'
  action:
    service: script.cover_wakeup

/config/scripts.yaml

cover_wakeup:
  alias: Wake Up
  description: 'Slowly moves up the cover'
  fields:
    minutes:
      description: 'Amount time between cycles in minutes'
      example: 1
  sequence:
    - alias: Shutter wake 1
      service: cover.open_cover
      data:
        entity_id: cover.rolladen_wake1
    - delay:
        # supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours
        minutes: 3
    - alias: Shutter wake 2.1
      service: cover.open_cover
      data:
        entity_id: cover.rolladen_wake2
    - delay:
        minutes: 3
    - alias: Shutter wake 2.2
      service: cover.open_cover
      data:
        entity_id: cover.rolladen_wake2
    - delay:
        minutes: 3
    - alias: Shutter wake 2.3
      service: cover.open_cover
      data:
        entity_id: cover.rolladen_wake2

/config/configuration.yaml

input_boolean:
  node_red:
    name: Node Red Watchdog
    initial: on
  # Switch for the shutter automation
  shutter_wakeup:
    name: Rolladen - auto

# Input time for shutter automation
input_datetime:
  alarm_time:
    name: Uhrzeit
    has_date: false
    has_time: true

now, i’ getting the following errors:

I’m not familiar with yaml and homeassistant. Can anyone help me to fix this issue?

Thank you for your response :blush:
