Automation gets disabled by one of the trigger terms being unavailable?

Configuration
1

I have an automation to tell me when DHT22 devices become unavailable. This happens because of dirty earth, something that’s hard to fix at the moment, but by taking the power off a few seconds, at least they come back online. So I wrote this check to warn me when it happens. The problem is that the automation itself gets disabled, apparently by one of the trigger terms being unavailable.
Can someone explain why this happens and how to fix it?

alias: Notify when DHT22 unavailable
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.badkamer_temperatuur
      - sensor.bruno_temperatuur
      - sensor.flexkamer_temperatuur
      - sensor.slaapkamer_temperatuur
      - sensor.valentijn_temperatuur
      - sensor.living_room_temperature
    to: unavailable
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 5
      seconds: 0
action:
  - service: notify.NOTIFY_ADMIN
    data:
      message: |
        {{ trigger.to_state.name }} has gone unavailable
  - service: climate.turn_off
    data_template:
      entity_id: |
        {{'climate.' + trigger.to_state.name.split(' ')[0] +  '_thermostaat'}}
initial_state: "off"
