Hello,
I have a radio thermostat integrated with HA, and also a govee thermometer in a diffferent room than the thermostat. I’d like to automate it so if the room with the thermostat is over 68 degrees the heat turns off, and if it goes below 62 it turns back on. I had a previous automatic that used the change in temp as a trigger, but that would turn the heat down to 62, and this room would stay warm enough that it would still be over 68. So I tried making a binary sensor, the sensor seems to work but the automation never triggers.
alias: Turn down heat if nursery too hot

This is the template for binary_sensor.nursery_over_68:
{{ states('sensor.nursery_temperature') | float(0) > 68 }}
Any advice would be much appreciated
