Error when changing motion detection mode, automation stopped

[jpizquierdo]

Description

I have an automation which enable and disable the camera alarm by proximity. The automation was triggered but when I tried to change the motion detection selector to “off” the error ocurred:

Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position 0: invalid start byte
Resultado:
params:
domain: select
service: select_option
service_data:
option: 'off'
entity_id:
- select.cam_salon_motion_detection
target:
entity_id:
- select.cam_salon_motion_detection
running_script: false

Reproduction Steps

Change motion detection mode by automation

Expected behavior

Continue with the rest of automation or try again in a few seconds if error

If applicable, add error logs.

This error sometimes happens when camera is responding incorrectly, or when overloaded. Not much we can do, there are already retries built in to eliminate this as much as possible.
