Describe the issue you are experiencing

got error when adding an automation in home assistant "Message malformed: not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['type']"
I had tried to rename the automation when first saving it.
I couldn't save it initially... so started over, and this time i let the name default and then i could save it, and then i could rename it.
so it only seems to happen when initially creating it and giving it a new name on the initial create.

Describe the behavior you expected

no error when saving with non-default tname

Steps to reproduce the issue

1.create new automation
2. set When to: When the time is equal to 5:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday
3.Then do: When the time is equal to 5:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday
4.Then: Delay for 30 seconds
5.Then: Switch 'Turn on' on Smart Plug - living room - tv
6.then change the name from the default to: Reboot TV
Then try to save it... and get the error.
Drop above step 6 and it works with no error, and then can rename it with no error
