evohome HA clear_zone_override service

[lloyd]

Anyone using the Evohome clear_zone_override service in an automation in Home Assistant? Although I can get this to work in the developer tools, as a newbie I'm struggling with the syntax required in an automation. This is what I have:

- id: '1608036384799'
  alias: Reset Dining Room Weekday
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '13:30'
  condition:
  - condition: time
    weekday:
    - mon
    - tue
    - wed
    - thu
    - fri
  action:
  - service: evohome.clear_zone_override
    data: {entity_id: climate.dining_room}
  mode: single

Final part of the error is

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/voluptuous/schema_builder.py", line 432, in validate_mapping
    raise er.MultipleInvalid(errors)
voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']

Any suggestions?

Hi. I use the same in HA and it works perfectly. I recall having similar problems, so just make sure you only specify the entity to clear within the service data.

I assume that you are running the current version of HA?

Yes, but I’ve just noticed like yourself it now logs and error.

There appears to have been a very similar issue back in 2018:

Looks like 2020.12.1, released today, has resolved this.
