Yes... they are templated entities. I have another video that goes into the step-by-step process on how I create these virtual switches: Home Assistant 101: How to Create Virtual Switches. For the particular brightness level, they are templated switches, based on the brightness attribute value of the light.

Did you change values between examples? It feels like in one you're using sw_basement_50 and the other video you're using lights_50. It also feels like you switched to using services in "How to Create Virtual Switches". I'm totally confused.

I am trying to define switches in my configuration.yaml, but I keep getting an error. Does this look correct?

switch:

  • platform: template
    switches:
    dr_lights_100:
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('light.dining_room_light', 'brightness', 255) }}""
    turn_on:
    service: light.turn_on

It is quite possible that I used different entity names or types between the two different examples. I generally create new examples from scratch for my videos, so one video isn't necessarily directly related to another. I'm glad to take a look at your YAML, but could you place it in a code block so that it maintains formatting? It's hard to tell what might be incorrect when it is just plain text.

If you aren't familiar with how to do this, you can create a code block with the < > tool in the header, or simply enter in 3 backticks (the symbol below the tilde ~ key on most keyboards). After the 3 backticks, paste in your code and then end with 3 more backticks. Your code should then maintain it's formatting like this:

switch:
  # =================================
  # Basement Light Brightness Switches
  # ==================================
  - platform: template
    switches:
         sw_basement_5:
            value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('light.basement', 'brightness', 13) }}"
            turn_on:
              service: script.turn_on
              data:
                entity_id: script.basement_light_5
            turn_off:
              service: script.turn_on
              data:
                entity_id: script.dummy

This will make it much easier for me to take a look at your YAML and see if I can spot anything that is incorrect.

Thanks for the reformat! That helps! The YAML looks pretty good, except I see an extra double-quote mark at the end of each of your 'value_template' lines. Look at the end of your value_template lines vs. mine. The entire value template line should be enclosed in a single set of double-quotes:

value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('light.basement', 'brightness', 13) }}"

That's what is likely causing your error in validating the YAML. But also assure that 'brightness' is a valid attribute of your light entity and that it uses 0-255 for brightness. Some lights could use a different attribute name (like light_level) and many will use a brightness percentage scale of 0-100 instead of a raw value of 0-255.

The issue is probably the extra quote mark at the end of each value_template line. I just mention double-checking the attribute just for verification.

My configuration in YAML failed.
switch:

  • platform: template
    switches:
    lights_sonoff_100:
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('light.sonoff', 'brightnees', 225) }}"
    turn_on:
    service: light.turn_on
    target:
    entity_id: light.sonoff
    data:
    brightnees: 255
    turn_off:
    service: light.turn_off
    target:
    entity_id: light.sonoff
    Then I added to Template section in developer tools
    "{{ is_state_attr('light.sonoff', 'brightnees', 255) }}" to test. I get the following response:
    "Result type: boolean
    false
    This template listens for the following state changed events:
    Entity: light.magic"
    I don't know where I went wrong. Please help. Thanks!

It is difficult to tell if there is a formatting issue based on the code copy above, but for one thing, you have the word 'brightness' spelled wrong (brightnees). Try correcting it to brightness everywhere it appears above and see if that resolves the problem.
