Help with payload for mqtt trigger

Configuration
1

I am trying to trigger an automation on an mqtt payload.

My trigger code is

trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: home/conservatory/celling_light/setautomation
    # Optional
    payload: 'ON'
#    encoding: ''

but no responce.

Using MQTT SPY the payload data is {“State”:“ON”}

Tried lots of variations for the pay load but none seem to work.

Any idea what I should be using.
