Wait for a trigger not working as expected

Configuration
1

i have an automation to turn a light on Green when the garage door is open. it stays Green to remind me the garage is still open. when the garage door is closed, the light turns off. i could easily do this with 2 automations but i thought i could combine into 1. as of now, this 1 is not working. i used the GUI to make so i know it’s not my syntax. any idea what’s wrong?

alias: alert garage door open
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.garage_door_car_contact
    to: "on"
    from: "off"

action:
  - service: notify.telegram
    data:
      message: garage large door opened
  - service: light.turn_on
    data:
      rgb_color:
        - 0
        - 255
        - 0
      brightness_pct: 100
    target:
      entity_id: light.light_strip_3642
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id:
          - binary_sensor.garage_door_car_contact
        to: "off"
    timeout:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
    continue_on_timeout: false
  - service: light.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: light.light_strip_3642

It’s best to avoid long waits since they do not survive restart or reloading of the automation. There are a few ways to accomplish what you are tryin to do. One way is to use two triggers and a Choose action to determine what to do.

alias: alert garage door open
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    id: Open
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.garage_door_car_contact
    to: "on"
    from: "off"
  - platform: state
    id: Closed
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.garage_door_car_contact
    to: "off"
    from: "on"
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Open
        sequence:
          - service: notify.telegram
            data:
              message: garage large door opened
          - service: light.turn_on
            data:
              rgb_color:
                - 0
                - 255
                - 0
              brightness_pct: 100
            target:
              entity_id: light.light_strip_3642
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Closed
        sequence:
          - service: light.turn_off
            data: {}
            target:
              entity_id: light.light_strip_3642
mode: single
