Need help for -> Push "Shelly Button 1" -> HELPER "ha_epex_spot_sensor" looks when energy is a the cheapest price -> start dishwasher (or any device)

Configuration
1

Hi,

“Deleted unnecessary introduction text…and restructured my post” - thanks for the advice!

What I like to have / automate (should be a warm up :frowning: ):

  • Push “Shelly Button 1” (different actions worked)
  • “Helper” should look for the cheapest price → if true
    ** Use this HELPER GitHub Helper ha_epex_spot_sensor
  • Dishwasher (or any device) should start with the specific program
  • Optional:
    ** Voice outcome → tell me when the dishwasher will start / will be finished
    ** Notification when the dishwasher will start / will be finished

I was here…

Situation now:

  • Siemens dish washer
  • “Helper” from here GitHub Helper ha_epex_spot_sensor - I’d like to go with that
    ** I’m on an Austrian provider “SmartEnergy AT”
  • Shelly button configured and set up
  • Using a “Automation”

Questions?
? Is there something wrong with the “And if” condition
? Do I have to use “Then” with sequenced actions → Entity “look for prices” → start the dishwasher

Screenshot shows how I set up the automation using the GUI and how I defined the above mentioned helper

Meanwhile I’ll do further researches and proceed with my attempts.

Thank you in advance for a tip to solve my solution.
