Example 1:

If: woodstove turned on
If: current temperature 71
Switch.turn off woodstove

So I get this was not a proper way to do this, it probably would only trigger if the wood stove turned on WHEN it was 71 degrees. However, the house was at 68 and the automation turned off the wood stove IMMEDIATELY. Any ideas WHY?

Example 2:
If numeric value: current temperature 71
call switch.turn_off woodstove

The house hit 71, I can see the steps from 68 to 69, 70, 71, then finally 72 in the history of the Honeywell Total connect comfort (wifi via the cloud) but the automation did not turn off the wood stove switch. That one seems like I set it right, but I cant figure out why it didnt work
