License plate automation not triggered

Trying to automate the garage doors, so that when the webcamera in the backyard recognize the correct license plate, the garage door should open. If I check the states the image processing recognize the right plate, but the automation never fires. Followed the documentation for image processing, The automation is as follows:

  - alias: Open garage door
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: image_processing.found_plate
      event_data:
        entity_id: openalpr.camera_ip_webcam
        plate: *******
    action:
      service: cover.close_cover
      data:
        entity_id: cover.mini

If I trigger the automation manually, it does as intended.

Seems like there is not a lot of people that have been using this feature before, so could not find anything helpful. Anyone that knows what should be different?
