WTH Automation syntax and confusing menus/submenus for helpers

Hi,

I struggled a lot to understand why my automation didn’t work when I realized that I had two issues:

  • Syntax on trigger is important sometimes (ON, On, on doesn’t make a difference on a state, however the value of an input_select Occupied is different that occupied). Could be fixed by comparing with UPPERCASE convertion. Or even better, show the possible values for the entity and the user to select the value he wants.
  • selecting input_select in the main Action list or in the Helpers submenu is very different. Not sure why there are 2 menus, it is confusing. Especially when there is no diff eventually in the YAML.
