Manual device tracker in 2022?

This automation works for me, with no device_tracker.y’all file.


alias: Person, from apple homekit
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.virtual_person_home_alexander
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
action:
  - service: device_tracker.see
    data:
      dev_id: alexandertracker
      location_name: home
mode: single

Your automation looks the same, just using a template, so strange it is not working. Might be something with template generations a string or?
I have 2 automations, one for on and one for off
