Add automation to Rest Temperature Value

Hello,
I integrated a sensor the follwoing way:

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    resource: http://xxx
    name: Test API
    value_template: '{{ value_json.temperatur }}'
    device_class: temperature
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'

Now i want to add an automation whenever the temperature get above or under let’s say 35 °C.

When it comes to selecting the trigger in the automation I can select the following values:

platform: state
entity_id: sensor.test_api
from:
to:
for:

which doesn’t seem to work for what I am looking for.

When I try to add above or under manually I get the following error:

Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['above']

Do I have to do anything else in the sensorsettings before I can build this automation?

Note:
I also get the notification that this entity doens’t have a unique Id as stated here:

But there doesn’t seem to be a way to add an id within rest. Can this be the problem?
