Automaton condition is false, action happens anyway

Configuration
1

I created the following automation:

id: '1642561461207'
alias: Low batteries (ench)
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: '30'
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{state_attr(''sensor.ench_entities'',''battery'') | length > 0 }}'
action:
  - service: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      notification_id: ench_battery
      message: >
        <B>Low battery:</B><Br> {% for ent in
        state_attr('sensor.ench_entities','battery')  | list  %} {{ ent }}<BR>
        {% endfor %}
mode: single

There are currently none, so the condition evaluates to false

Executed: January 27, 2022, 12:30:04 PM
Result:

result: false 
entities:
 - sensor.ench_entities

In step details for the action it says:

This node was not executed and so no further trace information is available.

But yet it fires anyway and generated the notification. i’m sure i’m missing something obvious and would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks!

Please use code markup for your automation, as explained in the sticky post.

Any suggestions?

Provide examples of the value of the battery attribute.

Currently:

battery:
  - sensor.driveway_battery
