Timer.finished not triggering action

Configuration
1

Hello,
Newbie here. I created an automation that uses a timer helper and three triggers. The timer.finished event never triggers the finished action.The timer starts, times out and restarts. the other two choices never trigger. Not sure what I am missing.
Thank you.

The key should be entity_id not event_id.
