Greetings,
I am new to home assistant so hopefully I am doing this correctly. I have been scratching my head over this and have tried 20+ different things to get an automation to check an attribute with no luck, not sure why it is not working, I haven’t had this issue with other devices.
I have a lock that has the following attributes:
I am attempting to make an automation based on the “lockStatus: #” state / attribute and cannot get it to function. Here is what I tried (I also tried simpler attributes like ‘locked: true’):
condition: state
entity_id: lock.garage_door
attribute: lockStatus
state: 3
condition: template
value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('lock.garage_door', 'lockStatus', '3') }}"
I also tried different attributes like ‘locked: true’ with true and false values and could not get that to pass a test either. Are there certain states / attributes that cannot be used in automation or am I just doing this incorrectly?

that should have worked
that should be
condition: template
value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('lock.garage_door', 'lockStatus', 3) }}"
UNLESS… Can you copy/paste the attributes from developer tools → states page?
Thanks so much for the reply. I tried the template and get that the condition does not pass:

maybe this:
condition: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr('lock.garage_door', 'lockStatus') == 3 }}"
Actually, just checked they are the same, not used the is_state_attr before, you learn something new every day

Based on your screenshot, lock.garage_door has an attribute named state whose value is a dictionary. One of the dictionary’s keys is named lockStatus.
condition: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr('lock.garage_door', 'state').lockStatus == 3 }}"

Sorry for the late response, as I expected, your attribute is not what you thought it was. 123 has the correct solution
That worked! Thank you so much! I had no it was considered a dictionary, I will need to read up on it.
