Trouble with controlling lights with a motion sensor

I’m trying to have my Ecolink PIR Motion sensor turn on/off two z-wave light switches using the HA Cookbook example.

Here is what I have in Automations.yaml:

- alias: Turn on basement light when there is movement
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.basement_motion_1_sensor
    to: 'on'
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.BasementLightsOn
    
- alias: Turn off basement light 10 minutes after last movement
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.basement_motion_1_sensor
    to: 'off'
    for:
      minutes: 10
  action:
    service: scene.turnon
    entity_id: scene.BasementLightsOff

This is the code from Scenes.yaml:

- name: BasementLightsOn
  entities:
    switch.basement_light_1:
      state: on
    switch.basement_light_2:
      state: on
      
- name: BasementLightsOff
  entities:
    switch.basement_light_1:
      state: off
    switch.basement_light_2:
      state: off

and this is what show up in the Zwave log:

This is what the HA log shows:

2020-04-12 09:51:22 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.service] Unable to find referenced entities scene.basementlightson

So it looks like it’s a problem with the scene but I’m not seeing the problem. I would appreciate a second set of eyes. TIA
