Problem with automation based on template trigger

I am using HA OS

Hi, I want to make an automation to switch a power supply on or off based on the power level of my ipad
I tried first to use the entity directly in a numerical trigger, but it did now work. I then saw in a post that the value returned by the entity is a string, and I therefor needed to use a template trigger. I then used the example but it does not seem to work.
I made the automation with the UI, but want to join the generated yaml

alias: IpadKioskPowerControl
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: template
    id: fullycharged
    value_template: "{{states.sensor.marc_s_ipad_mini_battery_levelstate | int>90}}"
  - trigger: template
    id: lowpower
    value_template: "{{states.sensor.marc_s_ipad_mini_battery_levelstate | int<10}}"
conditions: []
actions:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - fullycharged
        sequence:
          - action: switch.turn_off
            metadata: {}
            data: {}
            target:
              device_id: 1c8ce02144c5291d40efb9b4a9d68120
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - lowpower
        sequence:
          - action: switch.turn_on
            metadata: {}
            data: {}
            target:
              device_id: 1c8ce02144c5291d40efb9b4a9d68120
mode: single

every help would be much appreciated
