OK, sorry I wasn’t able to help.

No worries! That’s what these forums are all about. You helped me A TON! Much appreciated.

Binary sensor… that’s the key that unlocks it and triggers the automation based on state change. Nothing else worked.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      bs_stove_error:
        friendly_name: "BS Stove Error"
        value_template: >-
          {{ float( states('sensor.esph_house_stove_current_temp') , 0)  <=  float(states('sensor.esph_house_stove_set_temp') , 0)-4 }}

Automation:

platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.bs_stove_error
to: "on"

Finally!

Makes sense, binary_sensors are best for off/on things,

Glad it worked out!

It actually was syntax errors as to why the others didnt trigger… 2 really little things.. I guess its a lesson to us all that the really little things matter. A LOT.

Help with Automation (not being) triggered by template sensor

#1 platform: template value_template: >- "{{ states('sensor.esph_house_stove_current_temp')|float(0) +4 <= states('sensor.esph_house_stove_set_temp')|float(0) }} The issue is likely the ". #2 platform: state entity_id: - sensor.stove_error from: "False" to: "true" Without seeing the sensor configuration it’s impossible to say for sure, but this one is likely not working due to improper capitalization. State triggers are case sensitive… “true” != “True”.

I can see it now - that sneaky little " maybe from when you changed from a single line template to multi-line? …and the capitalisation as well, yep.

Well done on finding it all and most importantly, glad it is working!
