How often does a for-trigger execute?

Configuration
1

I’m trying to create a trigger based on two sensors. Therefore, I let one of the triggers trigger the automation, and added the 2nd sensor as condition:

trigger:
  platform: numeric_state
  entity_id: sensor.dryer_energy_power
  below: '2'
  for: '00:02:00'
conditions:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.dryer_energy_current
    below: '0.1'

Question: how often does this trigger execute? Only once if the power state was exactly 2 minutes below 2W? And if the condition was not met, the trigger is not executed again?
Or will the trigger execute every minute as long as it did not pass the condition?

Thanks

What is this meant to be ?

The dryer goes below 2 Watts (or kilowatts ?) for two minutess, it triggers (once because two minutes after it goes below 2 mins only happens once) but then you check that the current is below 100 milliamps - the ‘02:00’ has completely thrown me

Edit : does your current sensor have that resolution ie below 0.1 is 0.099 or lower

Also the power will be directly proportional to the current (assuming your voltage does not fluctuate).

Why do you need two essentially identical triggers?

Sorry that was a typo. The condition should simply be without any timer.

My sensor has a resolution of 1mA, theoretically. It least during standby (before opening the dryer), I can see a current of 0.041 A.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Anyways my sensor showed a drop below by 2W while the dryer was still running, for more than 2mins. But meanwhile the Current Ampere stayed above 0.1A, so I thought I could use both of them to indicate the dryer is finished.

So add a 2nd trigger of current below 0.1 amp for 2 minutes so either would trigger but as Tom says they should be directly related

Well but my goal is to have an AND connection between those triggers (that’s why I added one as a condition). See it as some kind of double-check or fallback-check if the dryer is really finished.

Yeah, the way you do and’s is to double the conditions aswell as doubling the triggers
