Description of problem: In copying the automation 2 script in the "Cookbook" I am receiving the following error ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.sun] Missing if-condition configuration key before or after

Expected:

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and steps to reproduce:

homeassistant:
  # Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
  name: Home
  # Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
  latitude: [redacted]

automation:
  alias: 'Rainy Day'

  trigger:
       - platform: state
         entity_id: sensor.weather_precip
         state: 'rain'
       - platform: state
         entity_id: group.all_devices
         state: 'home'
       - platform: time
         after: '14:00'
         before: '23:00'

  condition: use_trigger_values

  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.lamp

automation 2:
  alias: 'Rain is over'
  trigger:
       - platform: state
         entity_id: sensor.weather_precip
         state: 'None'
       - platform: sun
         event: 'sunset'
         offset: '-01:00:00'

  condition: use_trigger_values
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.lamp

1. Since this switch is found via wemo, should i be using a different service?

Traceback (if applicable):

[lauraGgit]

this is not resolved with the addition of entity_id: sun.sun

[froz]

I fixed this in my automation by replacing -platform: sun with a numeric_state:

- platform: numeric_state entity_id: sun.sun value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}' above: 5

I used the elevation numeric_state to avoid an overlap with my regular sunset trigger, which also uses the elevation rather than a sunset offset. Plus, I am unsure how one would specify the offset as a state or numeric_state.

Also, I believe you need to use homeassistant as the service rather than switch, and assuming you are turning the lamp off when 'Rain is over', homeassistant.turn_off

This seems to have worked.
