What commands do you have in that automation? Unless I know whats itside of it I wont be able to troubleshoot this one any futher.

This is another example

A couple others if you need that are failing. All are separate automations but for the same purpose (Charge on solar)

So right off the bat, turning charging on or off when it's already on or off used to trigger an error. The most recent release I did no longer does this, however there may be other services that need this treatment.

As a general rule if you want an automation to continue when an error has occurred, add continue_on_error: true to the service calls.

However I'll need to figure out which call is throwing the unknown response error.
