I have a read a few, other, posts on temp triggers, and confirmed I see to be “ok” with any issues they had.
Issue: Triggers set to a threshold are not executed when entity state clearly has crossed threshold.
Exhibit A (config) shows automation rule, and triggers. Exhibit B (developer tools state screenshot) shows current temperature is indeed centigrade, and history crossing threshold of 20, and finally exhibit C (history) shows the entity previously being above that threshold.
The trigger I care about specifically is the “very_cold” @ 20 degrees.
Really appreciate any thoughts or tips to debug this!

Exhibit B - Current Entity State (from developer tools)
Temp is currently below 22, and went as low as 18 last night.
(the rise in temp is not from this rule, but greenhouse light on timed trigger sep. rule )
rule never fired
Exhibit C - Previous temperature was above 22
