Alexa Guard Automations not being triggered

Configuration
1

Hello,
I cannot figure out why the following automation which is tied to disarming Alexa Guard is not getting triggered.

- id: alexa_guard_off_when_arriving_home
  alias: Alexa Guard Off When Arriving Home
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: group.family
    to: 'home'
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alexa_guard
    state: armed
  action:
  - service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_disarm
    data:
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alexa_guard

I have tested to make sure the action is working by manually running it which it does without issue. The group.family entity is tied to four persons which shows as ‘home’ when at least one person is in the house and 'away when everyone is gone.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

If the trigger works and the action works, it’s likely the condition… Conditions are skipped when you use the Run Action function. Take a look at the automation trace to determin what is actually happening.

Thanks for the trace idea. I know the trigger is the culprit because I have tried the automation without include the condition as a test.

The trace does not show the entity being triggered even though I know the state does change
