core: WLED: utf-8 error

The problem

I seem to be having the same issue as reported here: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/89884

Oddly enough, the automation errors out at the same position as in the previous report “861”.

I already tried overwriting and saving the file in N++ making sure I am using UTF-8 encoding. After restarting the WLED device and reloading the integration, the automation runs fine once. The second time I run it, I get this error message. I am attaching the Trace here as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
