 ### {% linkable_title Template trigger %}
 
-Template triggers work by evaluating a [template] on each state change. The trigger will fire if the state change caused the template to render 'true'. This is achieved by having the template result in a true boolean expression (`{% raw %}{{ is_state('device_tracker.paulus', 'home') }}{% endraw %}`) or by having the template render 'true' (example below).
+Template triggers work by evaluating a [template] on every state change for all of the recognized entities. The trigger will fire if the state change caused the template to render 'true'. This is achieved by having the template result in a true boolean expression (`{% raw %}{{ is_state('device_tracker.paulus', 'home') }}{% endraw %}`) or by having the template render 'true' (example below).
 With template triggers you can also evaluate attribute changes by using is_state_attr (`{% raw %}{{ is_state_attr('climate.living_room', 'away_mode', 'off') }}{% endraw %}`)
