Notification when dishwasher is finished

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

after 4 hours of debugging I was not able to find the issue. Maybe someone sees my problem:
I have a dishwasher that is connected via the Home Connect Integration.
It has a sensor that changes from “inactive” to “run” as soon as the dishwasher starts.
I wanted a simple automation that notifies me when the washer is finished.
In that case the sensor switches from “Run” to “Inactive”. The notification works when I trigger it manually. But it seems that the trigger (switch of states of dishwasher) never gets triggered.

I tried spelling “run” and “inactive” also with “Run” and “Inactive” (starting with a capital letters)

Any ideas why?

alias: Geschirrspüler Benachrichtigung
description: Schickt eine Push Nachricht, wenn der Geschirrspüler fertig ist.
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.geschirrspuler_operation_state
    to: inactive
    from: run
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_6
    data:
      message: Geschirrspüler ist fertig
mode: single

This is how the sensor history looks like:

There’s another very thin state (in orange) between run and inactive in that history graph. Does not look like it goes direct from run to inactive.

Look at the logbook history for the entity.
