Error on code for stopping charge and stopping discharge

[Pop46pop]

Hi

I have a new setup that I am nearly there with. I am struggling with the below error for stop charge and stop discharge.

-03-15 15:42:10.480736: Warn: Service call select/select_option data {'data': {'entity_id': 'select.inverter_force_charge_discharge', 'option': 'Standby'}} failed

This is the code

  charge_start_service:
    - service: select.select_option
      data:
      entity_id: select.inverter_force_charge_discharge
      option: "Force charge" # This must match the exact text in your dropdown 
    #- service: number.set_value
    #  data:
    #  entity_id: number.inverter_charge_current
     # value: 40
  charge_stop_service:
    service: select.select_option
    data:
      entity_id: select.inverter_force_charge_discharge
      option: "Cancel charge"
  # --- FORCE DISCHARGE CONTROLS ---
  # Tells Predbat what to do when it wants to export to the grid
  discharge_start_service:
    service: select.select_option
    data:
      entity_id: select.inverter_force_charge_discharge
      option: "Force discharge" # Or "Timed Export" - must match your dropdown exactly

  discharge_stop_service:
    service: select.select_option
    data:
      entity_id: select.inverter_force_charge_discharge
      option: "Standby""

Charge and discharge work fine.
Many thanks

Have you used generative AI to "help" you write the apps.yaml ?

I believe you have, and it has generated a delusional configuration for you, the clue is in the error message 'extra keys are not allowed'

Please DO NOT use generative AI and instead READ the documentation that details (in a lot of detail) how to configure predbat to talk to different inverters https://springfall2008.github.io/batpred/inverter-setup/#i-want-to-add-an-unsupported-inverter-to-predbat

You will see that what you are trying to do (or rather what Chat GPT/Claude/Copilot) has generated isn't allowed.

Hence the error message
