Hi there, this is my first post so go gentle. In short, I have a seemingly simple automation that was working and now doesnt appear to be doing what we need it to.
It is a simple if temp goes above value, turn off the dumb radiator switch. If it goes below a value, turn it on.

I cannot for the life of me work out why it does and then does not work. The screenshot below shows the normal and bouncing temps in her room.
I’m sure I am missing something simple…I just cannot work it out!
Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated by me, wife and our baby! Thanks in advance
