Hi All,

Im want to make scripts bit nicer and shorter is it allow to change this script into the second one. Will this work?

YAML Lint gives “Valid YAML”

- alias: "Scene - Evening"
  trigger:

    - platform: time_pattern 
      minutes: "/1"

    - platform: state
      entity_id: sun.sun

    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.sensor_manual_family_home

    - entity_id: sensor.harmony
      platform: state
      to: "off"

    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_evening

    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_appletv

    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_tv

    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_kodi
    
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_goodnight

  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      state: "below_horizon"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_evening
      state: "off"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_goodnight
      state: "off"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: sensor.harmony
      state: "off"

    - condition: state 
      entity_id: binary_sensor.sensor_manual_family_home
      state: "on"

  action:

into this:

- alias: "Scene - Evening"
  trigger:

    - platform: time_pattern 
      minutes: "/1"

    - platform: state
      entity_id: sun.sun

    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.sensor_manual_family_home

    - entity_id: sensor.harmony
      platform: state
      to: "off"

    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_*

  condition:
    - condition: state

      state: "below_horizon"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_evening
      state: "off"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.scene_goodnight
      state: "off"

    - condition: state
      entity_id: sensor.harmony
      state: "off"

    - condition: state 
      entity_id: binary_sensor.sensor_manual_family_home
      state: "on"

  action:

No, that is not valid syntax. Put the input booleans in a group and trigger off that.
