Automation with temperature input

Configuration
1

I"having a SONOFF iPlug Zigbee Smart Plug that I want to turn on when my SONOFF Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor is above 22 degrees. How do i accomplish that ?. I have tried to make an automation. But nothing happens. Based on time it works. Any clues what I am doing wrong. It should be fairly simple, but i am missing something !

Likely, but please show use your automation so that we can tell you what.

I would suggest the generic thermostat in cooling mode.

The generic thermostat did the trick. But my original automation looks like this :

alias: Badeværelse for meget varme
description: ""
triggers:
  - type: temperature
    device_id: 1124e4b2f98477ec7d51fb51c342469b

    below: 30

    domain: switch
mode: single

Any clues here for what going on ?

It can’t trigger with that.
You need one trigger that is above 22 and one that is below 30.
