I’m using the Developer Tools to call the input_select.select_option service. My yaml looks like this:
service: input_select.select_option
data:
option: "Off"
It’s very straight forward. However, the call service button is grayed out and when I try to hit it anyway, I get the following error:
2021-08-21 00:31:23 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.script.websocket_api_script] websocket_api script: Error executing script. Unexpected error for call_service at pos 1: sequence item 0: expected str instance, Optional found

Please help. I’m very new to this. Thank you.
