I created the following automation to turn on an input boolean when the temperature in a room is higher than the outside temperature. However, it does not work. Can you please review my automation and help me finding the error?
Is your sensor realy called sensor.netatmo_netatmo_temperature or is this a typo? Did one of the two sensors change value during your testing? Is the automation enabled (Developer Tools → States)? Do you get any errors in the logs?
Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, the sensor is really called that way, and yeah, they did change states. And yes, the automation is enabled. The Log shows no errors connected to this topic…
One thing I noticed is that the > at the beginning of the value_template is always changed to a | as soon as i save the automation, which is confusing me… can this be the issue?
And did the template in your trigger ever change from false to true during your testing? It will only trigger when it changes from false to true, if it was true and one of the sensors changed and it still is true, it will not trigger.
