Automation just triggers once

Configuration
1

I’ve just started with Home Assistant, using the KNX and Sonos integration. I just wanted to test whether I could trigger a door bell sound when a Reed Contacts state in my KNX system is changed.

The reed contact is configured as binary sensor and shows the correct state in my dashboard with nearly zero latency. However the automation I created just triggers once after a home assistant restart. So always the first sensor state change after a home assistant restart triggers the automation, but there is no chance of any further triggers (except for manual ones).

The automation looks as follows (created in visual editor):

alias: Türklingel in Büro
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.fenster_1
    attribute: source
condition: []
action:
  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.buro
    data:
      media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/doorbell.mp3
      media_content_type: audio/mpeg
    metadata:
      title: doorbell.mp3
      thumbnail: null
      media_class: music
      children_media_class: null
      navigateIds:
        - {}
        - media_content_type: app
          media_content_id: media-source://media_source
mode: single

What did I do wrong?

I guess this doesn’t change on multiple triggers. Remove it.
