What's wrong trigger based sensor with automation

Is there anyone who could help me?
What I did:
Made the lines below in folder: templates.yaml

- trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: '00:00:00'
    - platform: event
      event_type: event_template_reloaded
  sensor:
    - name: 'Verlichting Schutting On'
      unique_id: '7781ebf3-23c6-437a-8c2f-2005de732261'
      state: "{{ (today_at('13:10:00') + timedelta(minutes = range(0,1) | random)).isoformat() }}"
      device_class: timestamp
    - name: 'Verlichting Schutting Off'
      unique_id: '842754c9-4047-48cd-8762-c2b7b8201f07'
      state: "{{ (today_at('13:15:00') + timedelta(minutes = range(0,1) | random)).isoformat() }}"
      device_class: timestamp

After this I made an automation like below:

alias: "Verlichting schutting automatisch "
description: Automatisch verlichting schutting aan random uit
trigger:
  - id: "on"
    platform: time
    at: sensor.verlichting_schutting_on_2
  - id: "off"
    platform: time
    at: sensor.verlichting_schutting_off_2
action:
  - service: switch.toggle{{ trigger.id }}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.verlichting_schutting

I also tried switch.turn_{{ trigger.id }}

When I switch the automation manualy the light is going on so thats seems to be okay.
It looks like the custom made sensor is not being activated.

Off course I already restart Home Assistant.

Somebody who could say whats wrong?
