Newb Q - Tado temperature trigger not firing actions

Third party integrations
1

I got Claude to write me some YAML that is supposed to turn off my Tado system when the temp gets 0.1 above the set point, but when I “test” the condition, it doesn’t work.

Any idea why?

alias: Heat limiter
description: >-
  Turn off HVAC when temperature exceeds set temperature by more than 0.1°C for
  1 hour
triggers:
  - value_template: >-
      {{ (states('sensor.8e4c58b83e45d87f7a6dc8e774c07fcd') | float) >
      (states('climate.a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f') | float + 0.1) }}
    trigger: template
conditions:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ (states('sensor.8e4c58b83e45d87f7a6dc8e774c07fcd') | float) >
      (states('climate.a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f') | float + 0.1) }}
actions:
  - device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    domain: climate
    entity_id: a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f
    type: set_hvac_mode
    hvac_mode: "off"
  - delay:
      hours: 1

    type: set_hvac_mode
    hvac_mode: auto
mode: single

I also tried doing something more simple:

alias: Heat limiter
description: Turn off HVAC when temperature exceeds 20.5°C for 1 hour
triggers:
  - type: temperature
    device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    entity_id: 8e4c58b83e45d87f7a6dc8e774c07fcd
    domain: sensor
    trigger: device
    above: 20.5
actions:
  - device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    domain: climate
    entity_id: a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f
    type: set_hvac_mode
    hvac_mode: "off"
  - delay:
      hours: 1
  - device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    domain: climate
    entity_id: a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f
    type: set_hvac_mode
    hvac_mode: auto
mode: single

this didn’t trigger either.

I have two potential triggers, any ideas which one may work?

  - type: temperature
    device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    entity_id: 8e4c58b83e45d87f7a6dc8e774c07fcd
    domain: sensor
    trigger: device
    above: 20.5

or

triggers:
  - device_id: b0c1746b7fe78e5daf362a049fdf9710
    domain: climate
    entity_id: a87965720f374142d0a5300b88cb578f
    type: current_temperature_changed
    trigger: device
    above: 20.5
