Automation doesn't fire action but trigger and action work themself

Hi guys,

I have a “Shelly Plug S” which i want to automate in Home Assistent.
First at all I configured that Plug via a Sensor and a Command Line Switch in my configuration.yaml because my Home Assistant Instance isn’t running in my home network and so i can’t use the Shelly Integration.
This way is working just fine and i get the output of the plug as well i can switch it on and off.

Now there comes the tricky part:
I build an automation which should switch the plug off if the output is above XY Watts.

- id: '....'
  alias: Test Switch
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.fahrrad
    above: '5'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
      - switch.fahrradswitch
  mode: single

This action just works perfectly if i press the “Execute” button.
My trigger is also working perfectly because i tested it with other devices (Homematic IP Plugs).

I can also see in the Logfile that the command_off statement is fired but still nothing happens…
Is there a tiny difference how actions in automations are executed automatically and manually?

I’m totally confused…

Thanks and best regards
Manu
