Not an expert but trying to initiate an existing script rather than a light to activate on a motion. Is it just the target: !input that is limiting me being able to select a script? Thanks

you could adjust the blueprint a bit after importing it, change the domain to script here:

    light_target:
      name: Light
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light

to

    script_target:
      name: Script
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: script

and

- service: light.turn_on
  target: !input 'light_target'

to

- service: !input 'script_target'

Thanks for your reply. I created another blueprint one to initiate scripts and your original for lights but with the changes I keep getting the following error in my logs and it doesn't work :-(

I tried it myself and it's working fine, I created another gist with it: https://gist.github.com/reinder83/2afd18c0f9736b045d8db755d6a11bc0

That is great thanks for your time and effort. I think I have messed something up in home assistant as I can see a new automation generated from this blueprint in the automation config file but it is not showing in the UI and it is also not functioning. Trying to find an error in the logs somewhere.
