WeMo Insight - sensor value or state plus value notification

Configuration
1

Hi everybody and thanks for your attention.

I got an issue I cannot find a solution
When my dishwasher has a consumption lower than 2W it means it has finished the cycle and send me a notification. Here below sensors and automations files

sensors.yaml

  sensors:
    lavastoviglie_current_power:
      friendly_name: 'Lavastoviglie'
      value_template: '{{ states.switch.lavastoviglie.attributes.current_power_w }}'
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'

automations.yaml

  alias: 'Lavastoviglie standby'
  trigger:
    - entity_id: sensor.lavastoviglie_current_power
      platform: numeric_state
      below: 2
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: 'switch.lavastoviglie'
        state: 'on'
  action:
    - service: notify.notify
      data:
        message: ciclo finito
        title: Lavastoviglie

As above IT WORKS

But now I also want to show the word STANDBY when the washing cycle is finished instead of just an empty circle.
In order to do that I’ve modified the sensors file as below

sensors.yaml

  sensors:
    lavastoviglie_current_power:
      friendly_name: 'Lavastoviglie'
      value_template: >-
        {% if states.switch.lavastoviglie.attributes.current_power_w | float < 2 %}
          STANDBY
        {% else %}
          {{ states.switch.lavastoviglie.attributes.current_power_w }}
        {% endif %}
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'

PROBLEM:
The value or the word STANDBY is showed correctly, but I do not receive any notification as before.

I’m sure I’m doing something wrong.
Thank you

If I’m reading it right, I reckon the automation isn’t triggered as ‘OFF’ can never be ’ below 2’.

So a possible solution could be to change the conditions part of the automation to ‘OR’ and include the value of ‘OFF’.

Sorry, the OFF word in the sensors.yaml can be misunderstood.
I’ve changed it with STANDBY.

When the dishwasher is in idle mode at the end of the cycle the consumption is about 1w

So I’d need to get the notification when it is in idle/standby mode.

Thanks
