The automation below sets a variable called actiontaken to yes if an action is actually taken and not stopped by a condition.
Later on, I use this variable to determine whether or not to send a notification that something has happened, but it never sends the notification. (I have tested the notification part separately and I know this works):-

Hot Water mode is now {{trigger.id}}. Tank heat level is

The trace always shows the evaluation of the template to be false.
Help!
