Wait template doesn't work

Configuration
,
1

Hi,
I have both radiator heating and air conditioning heating in a room and want to automate activating both heat sources one after another. First heat the room up with radiator to 18 degrees C. When that temperature is reached, activate the air conditioner for heating to 20 degrees C.

It seams that my automation script is not working but keeps waiting. When I test the template in Developer Template the condition is True.

Can you one of you tell what I am missing?

take out that, you’re repeating wait_template in

      - wait_template: >-
          wait_template: '{{ states('sensor.zolder_temperatuur_in_de_ruimte') |
          int >= 18 }}'

should be:

      - wait_template: >
          {{ states('sensor.zolder_temperatuur_in_de_ruimte') |int >= 18 }}

also you might need a default value for the |int, but the checker will tell you

@Mariusthvdb I was so focussed on the template itself that I completely missed that one. Now it is working. Thank you very much for your help.
