Automation Suggestions to troubleshoot?

Configuration
1

I am a couple weeks new to HA and perplexed that the automation below never fires…

- id: '1621958374459'
  alias: AC/Change Temp < 1 cent
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.my_smart_pricing
    below:  4.0
    for: 00:01:00
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    target:
      entity_id: climate.thermostat
    data:
      temperature: 78
  mode: single

Any suggestions… I have tried to manually set the state on the sensor and changed the values to the range of my sensor… Never fires.

Could you copy your automation and paste it in your post as preformatted text (</> in the toolbar)? It’s difficult to see what’s going on at the moment - we need to see the spacing, which is critical in .yaml.

For example:

alias: Study IT cupboard too hot
description: >-
  Sends SMS message when study IT cupboard gets too hot, measured by temperature
  of NAS hard disk.
trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.nas_drive_1_temperature
    above: '32'
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mobile
    data:
      message: Temperature in study IT cupboard is too high.
      data:
        priority: normal
  - service: system_log.write
    data:
      message: SMS notification sent (IT cupboard too hot).
      level: warning
mode: single
