Could someone tell me why this condition does not match.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- switch.office_fan
from: null
to: null
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: >-
= {{ states.switch.office_fan_state.context.user_id == None and
states.state.office_fan_state.context.parent_id == None }}
enabled: true
You have an = character outside the template. Remove it.
This would have been a lot easier for us to spot if you had done this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-help-us-help-you-or-how-to-ask-a-good-question/114371#oneone-format-it-properly-16
thank you. I formatted the original post.
should I move the = as removing it I have same results. Thank you so much for the fast response
The template should also be
{{ states.switch.office_fan_state.context.user_id is none and states.switch.office_fan_state.context.parent_id is none }}
Your template refers to states.state.office_fan. Change it to states.switch.office_fan.
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{ states.switch.office_fan_state.context.user_id == None and
states.state.office_fan_state.context.parent_id == None }}
^^^^^
enabled: true
You still should be using is none, not == None
alias: aaa
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- switch.office_fan
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{ states.switch.office_fan_state.context.user_id is none and
states.switch.office_fan_state.context.parent_id is none }}
enabled: true
does that look correct?
cant get it to trigger. Tried so many combination now that I got the syntax correct with misplaced words
Look at your trace, see what’s going wrong. You likely have to swap to the trigger object’s context.
{{ trigger.to_state.context.user_id is none and trigger.to_state.context.parent_id is none }}
I dont understand the part about the Undefined error I dont have None

Your entity_id is incorrect, which is returning a None object.
Outside that, you have to switch to the trigger object because the state machine does not store context.
I.e. you have to use this template:
ok I give up thank you for your help. if you want to make $20 let me know.
id: '1722953622884'
alias: bbb
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- switch.office_fan
from: null
to: null
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{ trigger.to_state.context.user_id is none and
trigger.to_state.context.parent_id is none }}
action:
- #YOUR ACTION
mode: single
wow that is amazing spent all day on that. works great! Thank you so much everyone!
I’m glad I could “help”… 
FYI, I gave you the template he used 5 hours ago 
Not sure why you didn’t use it then.
Dang I guess I just eyeballed it and not copy paste geeze what a terrible student I am. Thank you petro!
