What do I have wrong here?

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get my caseta dimmer lights (main_lights) to turn on when the Abode alarm changes from Home mode to Disarmed, but only if it’s after the sun has gone down… and this doesn’t seem to be working…

  • alias: turn on lights when alarm is disarmed at night
    trigger:
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.abode_alarm
    from: ‘armed_home’
    platform: state
    to: ‘disarmed’
    condition:
    • condition: sun
      after: sunset
      action:
      entity_id: light.main_lights
      service: light.turn_on

Your indentation looks out of whack.
Can you repost your code using the code tags </> in the edit window please.

I think the problem may be in the condition; I always use state, sun.sun, and below_sunset like so:

- alias: turn on lights when alarm is disarmed at night
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.abode_alarm
    from: armed_home
    to: disarmed
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    state: below_horizon
  action:
    service: light.turn_on
    entity_id: light.main_lights

Agreed on jivesinger: It’s hard to tell how your formatting looks.

wow, i really have no clue what im doing with these tags haha…

i dont think it’s the indentation, since it loads fine and doesn’t throw any errors, i think its with the condition statement, so I’ll try what marthocoo said above and see if that works.

Thanks!
