The problem

I get this error:

The automation "🔥 Turn on Kettle" (automation.claire_near_home) has an unknown action: water_heater.set_temperature.

I see two issues with this spook:

1. The action water_heater.set_temperature shouldn't be unknown, it is a valid action
2. This automation doesn't use the water_heater.set_temperature action, however it does call a script which contains this action.

The action water_heater.set_temperature shouldn't be unknown, it is a valid action

Unfortunately, it seems like the water heater integration isn't loaded, otherwise it would have been a valid action. The reason it raises, is because it is referenced, but not available on your system. Just because the action is documented, doesn't mean it is available on your instance.

This automation doesn't use the water_heater.set_temperature action, however it does call a script which contains this action.

If it isn't used... remove it? 🤷

Closing this issue, as it sounds like it works as intended.

The kettle does use that integration though? So it should be loaded?

What I mean by it doesn't use the water_heater.set_temperature action, it's not directly referenced in the automation configuration.

The action also shows up in the Developer Tools
