I'm trying to setup an automation to turn a smart plug on / off (connected to small space heater) depending on temperature as read by thermostat. It will turn "on" when the temp registers below 65 as intended but last night I noticed that the temp had hit 66 and plug still wasn't turning off. I watched for about 10 minutes and nothing happened. I tried to run the script manually at that point and it still didn't turn off. Can anyone offer insight on why it isn't working?
