Automation with attributes of sensor

Configuration
1

My sensor is an xbox live sensor

states online or offline. But there are some attribuut in it like

sensor.sk1ppy_nl Online

friendly_name: Sk1ppy nl
XboxOne Background: Home
entity_picture: http://images-eds.xboxlive.com/image?url=
XboxOne Full: Forza Hub
icon: mdi:xbox

Now what I want if XboxOne Full is sayig netflix it should activate scene.movie

So the trigger should be when XboxOne Full changes to Netflix thn activate scene.movie

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to pull a value from an attribute and base a trigger on that attribute.

You can do this in one step, but I prefer to handle it in two steps.
First, I define a template sensor that pulls out the attribute value: automation: - platform: template

sensors:
lake_house_away:
value_template: ‘{{ states.climate.lake_house.attributes.away_mode }}’
friendly_name: ‘Lake House Away Mode’

Then I base a trigger on that sensor - alias: Lake House Away Change

  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.lake_house_away
    state: 'off'

  action:
    - service: notify.pushnotifications
      data:
        message: Lake House Thermostat is not in away_mode

Thank you. You just gave me the push in the right direction

This is working for me now

- alias: Media - Netflix op xbox
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('sensor.sk1ppy_nl', 'XboxOne Full', 'Netflix') }}"
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.movie
- alias: Game - Destiny
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('sensor.sk1ppy_nl', 'XboxOne Full', 'Destiny') }}"
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.game
