Automation doesn't trigger by selected time

Hi,

I have input_datetime.bedtime for time.

My automation

- alias: Bed Time Automation
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: "{{ now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') == states('input_datetime.bed_time') }}"
  action:
    - service: script.going_sleep

In dev tools I checked values:

{{ now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') # 16:32:00 }}
{{ states('input_datetime.bed_time') # 16:34:00 }}

So they looks the same, and my question, why automation doesn’t trigger at all?
