Value template trigger with duration (for)

Hi!
Cannot make it work.
My sensor is not int type, unfortunately, so I need to convert it prior to mathematical comparison, thus I need to use a value template instead of the numeric state. I used for 1 minute, as the value sometimes may change, thus I need to make sure it keeps stable within the pre-selected range in automation for some time.

Trigger doesn’t launch if I use duration.

    value_template: |-
      {{ states('sensor.tasmota_bh1750_illuminance')|int < 10 }}

    id: night
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {{states('sensor.tasmota_bh1750_illuminance')|int  < 750 and
      states('sensor.tasmota_bh1750_illuminance')|int > 20 }}
