IF condition comparing two values

Configuration Blueprints
1

I am trying to make an automation like this:
If sensor1 < attribute1-sensor1*1,05 turnXon, else trunXoff.

Is there an easy way of accomplishing this?

You will need to use a Template as the condition.

Yes I get that. I have this at the moment but it does not work at all:
'{{ float(states('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9')) > 1.5 * float(state_attr('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9', 'avg_price')) }}'
If I use it in Developer tools/templates I get the True and False etc but in the automation it never pass.

Post the automation containing the template.

Sure:

alias: Electric price on off water heat
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: "22"
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
      '{{ float(states('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9')) > 1.5 *
      float(state_attr('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9', 'avg_price'))
      }}'
    enabled: true
action:
  - device_id: 0cc164d9a56d93fcce5d91eafaa76ead
    domain: mobile_app
    type: notify
    title: Electricity price
    message: Priset är nu för högt!
mode: single

Remove the template’s outer single-quotes.

condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
      {{ states('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9') | float(0) > 1.5 *
        state_attr('sensor.electricity_price_vargstigen_9', 'avg_price') | float(0) }}
    enabled: true
