set_temperature action does not work

[febu93]

The problem

This is my config:

climate:
  - platform: climate_template
    unique_id: 76c49564-3347-4a48-8732-cf88ee6729ff
    name: Diesel Heater

    min_temp: 5
    max_temp: 30

    # get current temp.
    current_temperature_template: "{{ states('sensor.temperature_inside') }}"

    # get current humidity.
    current_humidity_template: "{{ states('sensor.humidity_inside') }}"

    # get target temperature.
    target_temperature_template: "{{ states('input_number.dieselheatertemperature') }}"

    set_temperature:
      service: input_number.set_value
      data:
        entity_id: input_number.dieselheatertemperature
        value: "{{ temperature }}"

Whenever I change the target temperature in the frontend, I get the following error:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.script.diesel_heater
Source: helpers/script.py:1783
First occurred: 21:37:59 (17 occurrences)
Last logged: 22:06:45

Diesel Heater: Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: must contain at least one of entity_id, device_id, area_id.

Does anybody know, why? Thanks in advance :)

0.6.1

I just wonder, why in set_temperature You're setting value of input number? This component internally gets current temperature from input_number (current_temperature_template) and when You change this number, it calls set_temperature to apply changes to device. And You're trying to set that input_number again, so it goes into loop. In set_temperature You have to call script or any other device action that sets new temperature target.

ps: I'm not sure, but I think Your error is related to this (minus sign):
set_temperature:
- service: input_number.set_value

It seems that you are using the input_number.set_value service wrong. The following config works for me:

climate:
  - platform: climate_template
    name: Home Blower Heater
    modes:
      - "off"
      - "fan_only"
      - "heat"
    min_temp: 0
    max_temp: 35
    precision: 0.1
    temp_step: 0.1
    current_temperature_template: "{{ states('sensor.qingping_air_monitor_temperature') }}"
    target_temperature_template: "{{ states('input_number.blower_temperature') }}"
    set_hvac_mode:
      service: script.blower_heater_mode
      data: {}
    set_temperature:
      service: input_number.set_value
      target:
        entity_id: input_number.blower_temperature
      data:
        value: "{{ temperature }}"

Does the "off" state in the code turn off your heater? No need for additional code to map a switch to off?

where do I find this script ? script.blower_heater_mode

You write it yourself. I assume that this script reads the climate.home_blower_heater state and does something to actually change modes.
