Vacuum Automation Error at runtime

Configuration
1

I have an automation that is triggered by time to send a vacuum off to clean two rooms. I only added this automation yesterday and it ran perfectly yesterday but today I received an error which I don’t understand. Can anyone please advise on this?

Thanks. Just added target to that service also, and it didn’t work but with no error in the logs. However, I tried again and it’s started. Maybe an issue with the integration?

To be clear: You’ve added

target:
  entity_id: …
