Redstone signal not updating in custom block entity [1.20]

[mabutingtao]

I have a block with entity block which should emit redstone signal if there's a player nearby. I have a POWER property that represents the redstone signal power, it's updated from the block entity tick and I do update the blockstate and notify neighbors about it (if I do it in a right way, I'm new to modding in Minecraft :D)

According to what I see from some debugging, ticks actually happen and property actually changes its value (I didn't test that from the block code though, only in the block entity code) but redstone signal doesn't change.

Here's my block code:

                return true;

        return false;
    }
}

Thanks in advance for help.
