Help on condition / value template automation for waste collection notification

Hi Community!

I got stuck on a small automation in the waste collection universe. I have a value, splitted it to get a “1”, and this should be used as condition for a message “garbage tommorow”…

Altpapier|1|29.12.2020|Tue

I tested

{{ (states.sensor.MyButtonCardSensorpapier.state.split(''|'')[1])
      ==''1'' }}

in the developer template tool and got a “true” here. So I was sure this will work.

I formated this to an automation like this:

- id: 'xyz'
  alias: Papiermüllinfo
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '13:00:00'
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ (states.sensor.MyButtonCardSensorpapier.state.split(''|'')[1]) ==''1'' }} '
  action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_xxentityxx
    data:
      message: Morgen wird die Papiertonne abgeholt.

A test from the UI is successfull, but the automation never fires, I cannot find log entries or something.

Do I have a wrong format here? Am I missing the right way to format the conditions?

Has somebody a suggestion for me? THANKS!
