Basic automation: not working switch.turn_on (Newbie)

Configuration
1

First of all, greetings to all. I’m new with HA and I’m trying to get my first automation. It’s very basic, but it’s not working:

# Encender luz al llegar
trigger:
- entity_id: device_tracker.xxxxxxxxxx (correct device, I tested)
  platform: state
  from: 'away'
  to: 'home'
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
  entity_id:
    - switch.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (correct number, I tested)

I can see the smartphone going from away to home, but automation is not released. If I run the trigger the switch goes to on and I have light.

Any help?
Thanks.

Normally, the state change would be from ‘not_home’ to home not from ‘away’ because it’s not a valid state for the device tracker.

You might also want to format the code properly (see blue box at the top) so that formatting errors are visible!

Glups…It was so simple. Not_home was the solution.
Thanks!!!
