Template switch causes non-booting devices

[ksya]

The problem

One of my devices does not boot (or is in bootloop) after uploading the following code: Unfortunately I also could not get serial log working.

The problem is on the addition of line 121 and the interlock for this switch. The goal was to use this as a "block" to not lower the screen when the window is open. This switch was supposed to be enabled using home assistant.

I'm pretty sure this is because it is going in an endless loop due to this:

    turn_on_action:
      - switch.turn_on: window_unsafe
    turn_off_action:
      - switch.turn_on: window_unsafe

I have changed this and now it's functioning. You can close this... Although, maybe it can somehow be prevented to lock up the ESP
