AC automation - numeric state trigger

Configuration
1

I have created (and not tested) an automation which intentionally triggers for every temperature change below a threshold (turn off ac) and above a threshold (turn on ac - heat mode).

Will a numeric state trigger when temperature changes, but doesnt cross the threshold?
In example:
Automation 1: Turn on AC if temperature is below 22 celsius.
Automation 2: Turn off AC if door open for more than X minutes, no matter the temperature.

In real life it could be that its below 22 degrees inside, the AC is on, but one of the kids leaves the door open. This will turn off the AC. Without any additional automations, when the door is closed again, will my numeric state trigger in automation 1 be sufficiant to trigger the AC on again, if lets say the temperature is 19 degrees inside? Or does it not trigger until temperature is above 22, and then falls back to below 22 (which will not happen)?

Here is the entire automation for those specially interested. You are warned, its a mess.

- alias: Turn boolean "AC on" on

  trigger:
    - platform: numeric_state

When using the numeric value trigger, the monitored value has to cross the threshold to generate a trigger.

Example:

  trigger:
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.temp
      below: 21.0

If temp decreases from 22 to 20, it has crossed the threshold value of 21 and will trigger the automation. If it then decreases to 19, it will not re-trigger the automation.

To re-trigger the automation, temp has to first rise above the threshold value and then fall below it.

Ok, thanks. Then I need to find a different trigger. Something that will listen to the current temperature attribute and trigger on its change, limited by a condition for above and below temperature. Any ideas?

You you have a choice of :

You can use a condition with both or, in the case of the Template Trigger, incorporate in into the template. Both of them support the for option. I would try each one and see which works best for your application.
