Tuya integrated (SmartLife) AirConditioner automation triggering but AC not doing actions

[cinder terrace]

The event triggers but the AC does not perform the actions it should - even when I run the actions manually -- HOWEVER -- i can use a thermostat card and change and work the AC normally

here's the YAML

alias: AC - Brianna - Mode Cool, 68F if 71F+ and Off/Fan (Mysa temp, 5m check)
description: ""

You see the event triggers but the AC never changes value
