I’m trying to automate some fans in my Attic. I have a binary sensor
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
attic:
friendly_name: "Attic_Temp"
value_template: >
{% set Attic = states('sensor.samjin_multi_4e4e0a01_temperature')|float %}
{% set Outside = states('sensor.outdoor_temperature')| float %}
{{ (Attic - Outside)|round(1) > 10 }}
that triggers if it’s 10° hotter inside
and an automation that switches two fans on if that sensor is True
alias: Cool Off Attic
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.attic
to: 'True'
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.samjin_multi_4e4e0a01_temperature
above: '75'
action:
- type: turn_on
device_id: 7360673e27ead23febbd138046bb174b
entity_id: switch.attic_fan
domain: switch
- type: turn_on
device_id: f001f0284a1a7e26fe8c94cb9266a63c
entity_id: light.jasco_products_45853_08ba1000_on_off
domain: light
mode: single
But the automation never triggers.
in the Dev Tools I can cause it to be True or False
- platform: template
sensors:
attic:
friendly_name: "Attic_Temp"
value_template: >
False
But that does not trigger the automation.
I know I’m overlooking something simple.
Thanks
