Automation works with Dashboard but not with wall switch

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I would like to switch off my LG TV when I press a button in my Raspberrymatic. The button is a real switch on the wall. For that I created an automation: When the status of the button changes the TV will be switched off.

The problem when I use the switch on the dashboard it works perfectly
but when I use the wall switch it doesn´t.

Maybe I´m totally blind but I´m not able to convince the wall switch to do what I want.

Please let me know when you need more information.

Thanks for your support and regards
Christian
