Hi,
I want to build an automation to turn on all lights in a room, but just the ones which are dimmerable (hue, for example. My ceiling light is controlled by a shelly1 so it is not dimmerable).
If I ask google to turn on at 50% lights in my Studio it only turns on light with that specific brightness.
I want to replicate is but maybe there’s something I’m missing:
Below my test
service: light.turn_on
data:
brightness_pct: 1
target:
area_id: "{{ area_id('Studio') }}"
any advice?

uhm, actually it works:
But what I want to achieve is a little bit complicated based on the amazing work made by @basnijholt here .
I want to turn on only lights dimmerable in a area so I tried to change the original autmotation to the following:

Maybe there’s some error in definining variable for AREA.
Any advice?

Up? Can someone please help me on this?
I think it is possible. But I don’t have such skills in templates and variables (too hard for me)

@123 sorry to bother you and to take advantage of your kindness but do you mind to look at the draft of my automation above and support me?

Change everywhere you have this:
area_id: '{{ area_id(''area'') }}'
To this:
area_id: '{{ area_id(area) }}'
By wrapping area in quotes, you made it into a string instead of the name of a variable.

Just for the record I checked in multiple areas and used area name with proper name (case sensitive)
