Adjust Heaters and Thermostats based on Electricity price-adjustments

Hi,

So after hours of tryning, I’m realizing that I need some more knowledge and input. Because I’m stuck.
Through Tibber (my powercompany) I get readings on prices(in local currency) and the price level (cheap, normal, expensive, very expensive) etc. Through HA, I have it as local sensors, and zwave connection to the thermostats and a third party Adax Heater integration to control the heaters.

Idea:
Adjust down the thermostats to energy heat (since this is 4 degrees lower than normal consumption) and turn of a group of heaters when the power is expensive, and when it goes back to normal - set the mode to regular heat and turn on the heaters.

The purpose for this is to do two things;
A) Create a SWITCH that could trigger this on demand
B) An automated activity that monitors the development, and does the changes automatically within a timespan.
Both will also send a notification to my phone / power app.

So I’m trying to solve the SWITCH first

input_boolean.yaml

#Intput_Boolean Power switch
  kjell_mode:
    name: Kjell mode aktivert
    initial: off

Switch.yaml

#Switch.yaml Powersaving mode
  - platform: template
    switches:
     kjell_mode:
      value_template: '{{ states("input_boolean.kjell_mode") }}'
      friendly_name: 'Kjell-mode'
      turn_on:
        - service: input_boolean.turn_on
          entity_id: input_boolean.kjell_mode
        - service: climate.set_present_mode
          data:
            entity_id: group.climate_termostater
            preset_mode: none
        - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
          entity_id: group.climate_panelovn
          data: 
            hvac_modes: off 
        - service: notify.tibber
        #Notification enabled
          data:
            title: "Kjell-mode er aktivert"
            message: "Strømmen er dyr, Kjell-mode er aktivert til strømmen normaliserer seg."
      turn_off:
        - service: input_boolean.turn_off
          entity_id: input_boolean.kjell_mode
        - service: climate.set_present_mode
          entity_id: group.climate_termostater
          data:
            preset_mode: none
        - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
          entity_id: group.climate_panelovn
          data: 
            hvac_modes: heat 
        - service: notify.tibber
          #Notification disabled
          data:
            title: "Kjell-mode er deaktivert"
            message: "Da vi tilbake til normalen igjen. Få kasta litt mer penger ut av vinduet. "

This is the Groups.yaml

# Groups.yaml
  climate_panelovn:
    name: Adax Panelovner
    entities:
       ## Panelovn Kontor
       #- climate.adax_82165
       ## Panelovn Gjesterom
       - climate.adax_86969 
       ## Panelovn Soverom: Ludvig
       #- climate.adax_83216
       ## Panelovn Hovedsoverom
       - climate.adax_84604 
  climate_termostater:
    name: HeatIt Thermostater
    entities:
      - climate.thermofloor_as_heatit_thermostat_tf_021_heating
      - climate.thermofloor_as_heatit_thermostat_tf_021_heating_2
      - climate.thermofloor_as_heatit_thermostat_tf_021_heating_3
      - climate.thermofloor_as_heatit_thermostat_tf_021_heating_4

So where I have trouble is to activate the switch from Lovelace. The error is the following:

What am I doing wrong? And do you need any more documentation to help me out?
