I’ve got a few Aqara / Xiaomi zigbee water sensors on my network. They’re working fine and detect wet / dry correctly. I wanted to setup a notification to Pushover if they detect a leak. I’ve created the Automation below, it works if I manually execute it (I get the message on Pushover) however if i make the sensor wet the automation never fires. What am I doing wrong?!

A binary_sensor’s states are on and off. You can confirm that by inspecting the leak sensor in Developer Tools > States.
This binary_sensor’s device_class is set to moisture so, for display purposes in the Lovelace UI, its states (off and on) are shown using the words Dry and Wet. However, those words should not be used in a template to determine the binary_sensor’s actual state.
