WLED Automation: Message malformed: template value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['action'][0]['data']

Configuration

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to HA, and have run into a small issue.

I’m trying to create a toggle for my WLED strip, whilst setting the effect.

alias: WLED-Alex-Bedroom-Light-Double
description: Utilises Shelly wireless buttons
trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: eb2daf9c4a0c41f0df37745322295b0d
    domain: shelly
    type: double
    subtype: button
  - platform: device
    device_id: 7ba57111a513a9aeef80f219b1c519bc
    domain: shelly
    type: double
    subtype: button
condition: []
action:
  - service: light.toggle
    metadata: {}
    data:
      brightness_pct: 100
      color_name: white
      effect: {{ state_attr('light.wled_bedroom', 'effect_list') | Solid }}
    target:
      entity_id: light.wled_bedroom
mode: single

Getting the following error:
Message malformed: template value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['action'][0]['data']

I got the config from: WLED - Home Assistant

The reason I’m defining the effect is that I have a sunrise alarm automation which sets a particular effect, so I’m trying to revert it, and given that the WLED integration doesn’t seem to list “effect” as something we can easily change, I’m not quite sure how else I can do this.

Cheers for any help!

Resolved.

Just used this instead:
