Any idea why this automation is not triggering? Note that the last triggered date was done by me on a manual test (by manually running the actions).

I understand, it only happens if it crosses the theshold (not on every change that is within the threshold). The issue is we have crossed the threshold. For the heat below 50 threshold, we got above 50 and then went below. No trigger.

There's not enough information there to discern that, or help

Could this possibly be a units issue? I'm not sure what else to give you. The automation is pretty straightforward. Is there a way i can see behind the scenes what Forecast is reporting for temperature for automation triggering?

#

If I wanted to turn a lightbulb on if the temp outside crosses from 39 to 38 or lower, there must be a way to do that. Is it any different than what I have here?

#

62 now.

Adjusted the threshold to be 61 (will occur later today). I will come back and say if the event triggers. This is also using a different entity than before (not sure why it changed, i didnt touch anything)

#

Now it is 60 and the automation did trigger this time

#

But, interestingly enough, the units could cause an issue if someone ever changes them (the units do not change in the automation). Should I open an issue for this?
