How to force trigger check in automation?

Configuration
1

Hello, I know that if trigger is based on comparison of values of two entities, then the condition is checked only if either of the entity changes. My problem is that sometimes I have the action disabled, because I am out of home. When I come home, I enable the action and I would need to force comparison of entities in the trigger. In other words, to check the trigger condition even if both entities do not change. How can I do that?

Or does the trigger check occur every time when automation is enabled? No - I just checked, enabling automation does not force trigger check.

Thanks.

you could use the state of the automation going to on (enabled) as another trigger and then put the other triggers as conditions in the automation.

it would the check the triggers (but now as conditions) as soon as you re-enable the automation.

And if the automation is enabled when the original trigger is met it would still pass the conditions based on the trigger being met as well.
