Device Tracker with ping does not trigger automation

Configuration
1

This automation is working as intended when im triggering it by hand.
However my Device Tracker isn’t triggering it and I cant figure it out myself.

Here is my known_devices.yaml

kathi_handy:
  hide_if_away: false
  icon:
  mac:
  name: Kathi
  picture:
  track: true
  
thomas_handy:
  hide_if_away: false
  icon:
  mac:
  name: Thomas
  picture:
  track: true

This is part of my configuration.yaml

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
    
device_tracker:
  - platform: ping
    interval_seconds: 30
    consider_home: 1200
    hosts:
      thomas_handy: 192.x.x.x
      kathi_handy: 192.x.x.x

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.yamaha: critical
    custom_components.my_integration: critical

and finally my automation.yaml

The ping seems to work as well, I can see when someone leaves the network the entity is shown as away.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

You must be dyslexic like me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:…

    entity_id: device_tracker.handy_thomas

should be:

    entity_id: device_tracker.thomas_handy

Oh no!
I switched back and forth so often, but never really checked the names.
I’ll try this now
