What's the error?

safe quest Jan 12, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['automation']

vagrant lion Jan 12, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

Ah... are you pasting that code into the automation editor?

safe quest Jan 12, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

Yes

vagrant lion Jan 12, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

Because that won't work

safe quest Jan 12, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

OK great

vagrant lion Jan 12, 2024, 10:05 PM

#

You can edit the automation as YAML and then paste in the parts, correctly indented

#

Or you can build it in the UI editor entirely

Your YAML is broken, again, and you didn't say where you pasted that

#

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.short_cirkuitz_subscribers
    above: 0
    action:
    ^^^^^^
``` `action` has to be at the same indent level as `trigger`

#

Again, you can entirely build that in the UI editor and then look at the YAML created

#

(also, that trigger won't work for you)

safe quest Jan 15, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

vagrant lion (also, that trigger won't work for you)

Why not?

#

This was pasted in the yaml automation editor

fallow garnetBOT Jan 15, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

@safe quest There are three sections to an automation:

trigger: When any one of these becomes true the automation starts processing. Only one trigger is ever responsible for starting an automation, if you make a condition that checks for more than one having started the automation then the condition can never be true.
condition: These are checked after a trigger starts the processing, and must be true for the automation to continue.
action: This is the part that does something, and can also include further conditions.

vagrant lion Jan 15, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

Because that'll only fire when it goes from 0 or below to above 0, once above 0 it won't re-trigger

#

  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.short_cirkuitz_subscribers
``` will do what you want

safe quest Jan 15, 2024, 8:10 PM

I tried putting it at the same indent level and still getting the same message
