Bug: Cannot run quick action automation

[rolandorojas]

I am trying to fire an automation action from quick actions. However, the automation never fires. I tried changing the desired action and changing triggers in HASS. Nothing seems to work. If I run the automation actions from HASS, they run as expected.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Hass Agent and open Quick Actions
2. Create a new action to run an Automation. Set the desired action to anything.
3. Save and try previewing the action
4. See error or just that nothing happens

Expected behavior The automation actions should run.

Is the home assistant api showing ok in the main window? Can you toggle other entities, eg. a light?

[rolandorojas]

Yes, it does show ok and I can run device actions like turn on and turn off a light. I only see this issue when I'm trying to run an automation or a scene.

You can see in the logs below how I turned on a light successfully and then right after tried to run an automation and failed.

Sorry for the late reply! Completely missed your response. But I think I noticed what's wrong, you've set the Desired action to Open, which isn't applicable for automations, choose On instead.

I've created a ticket to change this behavior: hassagent-146
