Automation to turn on the dishwasher/washing machine with PV (solar power)

Hello, can someone help me with my automation? Here’s what I want to achieve with it:

Turn on the dishwasher when:

  1. The total PV power output is higher than the value of a number helper (e.g., 2000 watts) and the battery’s state of charge (SOC) is higher than xy (also a number helper).
  2. If that condition is not met, the dishwasher should start no later than xy o’clock (time helper).

Attached is my configuration. It doesn’t work, and I don’t know why.

Thank you for your efforts.

Hallo, kann mir jemand bei meiner Automatisierung helfen. Folgendes will ich damit machen:

Spülmaschine einschalten wenn:

  • PV_Gesamtleistung höher als der Wert eines Nummern Helfers (z.B. 2000 (Watt)) und der SOC der Batterie höher als xy (ebenfalls Nummern Helfer)
  • wenn das nicht eintritt soll sie spätestens um xy Uhr (Uhrzeit-Helfer)

starten.

Anbei meine Konfiguration. Sie funktioniert aber nicht. Ich weiß nicht warum.

Vielen Dank für eure Mühe.
