Temperature as trigger for automation

1

2022.5 I used this template as trigger and it no longer works with 2022.6

{{ state_attr("climate.downstairs", "current_temperature") > 74 }}

It works in dev tools just fine, but doesn’t work as trigger.

Also tried this as trigger

platform: numeric_state
entity_id: climate.downstairs
attribute: current_temperature
above: '74'

Neither seem to work

The temperature has to go from below 74 to above 74 to trigger. If it is already above 74 when you save/reload the automation, or if it changes state above 74 (e.g. 77 to 78), it won’t trigger.

Yes it used to work like that now it doesn’t with latest upgrade.

Also have one for temp outside vs inside and notify that it’s time to open windows that doesn’t fire since 2022.6

Played with it some more today and the numeric state works, but the template doesn’t work any more. Now to rework automations…

Check that your climate entity attribute still exists and that it is reporting a number, because it works for me:

Works fine in dev tools but doesn’t trigger automations like they used to

That’s not possible. Show your full automation.

Here is the adjusted one that’s working

alias: Family Room Fan Turn on when warm enough and TV is on

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: climate.downstairs
    attribute: current_temperature
    above: '74'

Here is the one that used to work for telling me when to open the windows

Well that’s completely different from the template you posted originally. It helps if you post the actual template you are using. Don’t simplify it. That just means people helping you aren’t working with the actual issue.

Are both of these attributes numbers with the same format?

    value_template: >-
      {{ state_attr('weather.openweathermap', 'temperature') <=
      state_attr('climate.upstairs', 'current_temperature') }}

If not you may have to convert them to numbers before testing with the comparison:

    value_template: >-
      {{ state_attr('weather.openweathermap', 'temperature')|float(0) <=
      state_attr('climate.upstairs', 'current_temperature')|float(0) }}

Also did you check your log for template errors?
