So I have this automation that runs my vacuum, cleaning the whole house, then after it’s done cleaning the whole house, it’s supposed to clean the living room again. It accomplishes this, but only after the wait_template times out. The intended way this is supposed to happen is the automation waits for the vacuum to go back to the dock, empty and enter a fresh state, then start the single room cleaning mode.
I’m using wait_template since I can verify a valid true/false in the dev tools template editor. So the automation isn’t seeing this state change even though the condition is showing True in the template editor. I’ve also tried using On instead of on but that never showed True. Does anyone having any ideas on what I’m overlooking that’s keeping this from progressing the way I intend it?

The wait_for_trigger at the end of the automation was my original attempt at determining when the vacuum completes its cleaning but that too didn’t work
