Whenever I reload the template entities I get this error:

I assume I’m getting that error because I don’t have “availability_template” for sensor.people_already_home, but it only uses the person domain so I’m not sure what it should be.
What’s extra strange is that the “Turn off all lights when everyone leaves” automation isn’t mentioned in the logs, so that one must be fine for some reason.
Can anyone explain what’s going on here? Do I need to figure out how to set unavailability for the sensor that only uses the person domain? Or if that’s the wrong question I’d appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
