How are you testing?

Also quote your single line templates.

message: "sensors {{ trigger.entity_id }} not available for {{ trigger.for }}"
4

I’m testing with disconnecting the device

Quoting is not necessary, but you were waiting for 99 (!) hours? Did you test only with seconds?

Since when?

Since ever? I don’t know. The message starts with a string, so you don’t need quotes. Same when you use

service: light.turn_{{ < some code> }}

Try it out.
