ESPHome code vs. Wokwi Arduino

ESPHome
4

So after a lot of reading I´m back here again.

This is the code right now.

esphome:
  name: esp-garagentor
  friendly_name: ESP-Garagentor

esp8266:
  board: esp01_1m
mqtt:
  broker: 192.165.64.64
  username: mqtt_sender
  password: !secret mqtt_password

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  encryption:
    key: "tada"

ota:
  password: "tada"

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Esp-Garagentor Fallback Hotspot"
    password: "tada"

captive_portal:

sensor:
  - platform: rotary_encoder
    name: "Torantrieb"
    pin_a: GPIO4
    pin_b: GPIO5
    on_clockwise:
      then:
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: Torfahrt
            payload: "Tor hoch"

    on_anticlockwise:
      then:
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: Torfahrt
            payload: "Tor zu"  
  - platform: rotary_encoder
    name: "Torantrieb"
    pin_a: GPIO4
    pin_b: GPIO5
    on_clockwise:
      - logger.log: "Torhoch"
    on_anticlockwise:
      - logger.log: "Torzu"

The Code is uploaded, and the ESP is OK connected to Homeassistant, but the rotary function shows no result.
But at the moment i disconnect the ground wire from the Rot.Enc. an MQTT Meassage is published, showing the counter +1 or -1 steps.

For my demands i wouldn`t need a counter function, just the info via MQTT if the turning is CW or CCW.
Any ideas what to change ?
Thank you… :beers:
