Selector Template Documentation Example

[ahgray]

I'm sure this is probably just my ignorance but, I have a template that doesn't seem to work when I call baby buddy services even though it appears to return the right value in developer tools. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong, it would also be nice to see some documentation regarding using the select options like this. I've got other things like adding sleep using the time working well.

"{{states('select.baby_buddy_diaper_color')}}"

Returns Brown etc as per the selected value. However in this card setup with buttons it returns the following error.

Failed to call service babybuddy/add_diaper_change. value must be one of ['Black', 'Brown', 'Green', 'Yellow'] for dictionary value @ data['color']

Card Code

 cards:
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: babybuddy.add_diaper_change
          data:
            color: '{{states(''select.baby_buddy_diaper_color'')}}'
            type: '{{states(''select.baby_buddy_diaper_type'')}}'
          target:
            entity_id: sensor.baby_callan_gray
        entity: ''
        name: 'Change Diaper '
        icon: mdi:emoticon-poop
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true

This is an older post, but probably still accurate.

This seems to resolve the issue. For anyone else or if you want to add to documentation/examples this is working.
