Please post your code as preformatted text (</> in the cogwheel menu). Very difficult to follow otherwise.

Thanks for the tip

You don’t need the value template line, and service: light.turn_on would normally be used with an entity_id rather than a device_id (a device can contain a number of entities).

Does it trigger but fail to turn the light on, or does it fail to trigger at all?

sensor.aurora_62_11 needs to go from below 2 to above 2 in order for this to trigger. Has it crossed that threshold?

6

Hi if I manually run lights and seen work great. The value has to be above to trigger

7

Yes has crossed

Do this then

Go to states in developer tools, and choose sensor.aurora_62_11. Set the state to 0 or 1. Then set it to 3. Then look at the trace for the automation and tell us what it says.
