Binary sensor stops working on delay_on

Configuration
1

Hello

I have a simple binary_sensor in my configuration.yaml.
Everything works as expected without delay.
But as soon as I comment-in delay_on the sensor never turns on.
I would expect the sensor to switch to on after about 10s after the power is bigger than 500.
But even after 10 minutes the sensor was off.
Without delay_on it turns on immediately after power is bigger than 500.

I already googled but everything I could find were discussions about delay_on and the sensor state being “unknown” but that is not my problem.

Any idea what is wrong here?

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        seconds: "/10"
    binary_sensor:
      - name: Dishwasher Running
        state: >-
          {% if is_state('binary_sensor.dishwasher_running', 'off') %}
            {{ states('sensor.dishwasher_power') | float > 500 }}
          {% else %}
            {{ states('sensor.dishwasher_power') | float > 5 }}
          {% endif %}
        #delay_on:
          #seconds: 10

Welcome to the forums!

Possibly the trigger clashes with the delay.

Hello pedolsky

This was the right hint.
I didn’t know that with delays there is no trigger necessary.
I just removed the trigger and now it works fine

Thank you
