Automation doesn't trigger

I’m trying to make my receiver turn down the volume automatically when it gets too loud.
I have added a microphone to a ESP8266 and use the ADC to get the “volume”. The return is a voltage reading.

ESPhome:

sensor:
  - platform: adc
    pin: A0
    name: "Sound"
    update_interval: 0.2s
    filters:
      - multiply: 3.3

The value is visible in Home Assistant as it should.

I also added a stats sensor to even out the spikes some.

Configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: statistics
    entity_id: sensor.sound
    sampling_size: 5

This means the original value, sensor.sound, updates every 0.2 seconds and sensor.stats is average of 5 values (1 second).

The automation is:

- id: '1586672460751'
  alias: skruva ner förstärkaren
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.sensor.sound.state > 1.9 }}'
  condition: []
  action:
  - data: {}
    service: script.1586684255359 # script that turns down the volume of the receiver

Why is that not triggered as it should? Not even with {{ states.sensor.stats.state > 1.9 }} does it work.
Anyone that spots the problem?
