Aqara Cube Rotate Left and Right values, new Hass versions

Configuration
1

Hi! I’m having trouble setting Aqara’s rotation to control brightness of the lights.
What I want to do is to send degree value from rotation event (or even state, as rotational value has it’s own sensor) to brightness_step but I can’t make it work.

I tried these approaches:

- id: '1585765356304'
  alias: MCube2 Rotate
  description: ''
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: cube_action
      event_data:
        entity_id: sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_cube_4c14a702_multistate_input
        action_type: rotate
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      brightness_step: {{states.sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_cube_4c14a702_analog_input}}
    entity_id: light.pc_table_1
    service: light.turn_on

and

- id: '1585765356304'
  alias: MCube2 Rotate
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_cube_4c14a702_analog_input
    platform: state
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      brightness_step: {{states.sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_cube_4c14a702_analog_input.state}}
    entity_id: light.pc_table_1
    service: light.turn_on

But both give

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: invalid key: "OrderedDict([('states.sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_cube_4c14a702_analog_input', None)])"
  in "/config/automations.yaml", line 581, column 0

Error when reloading automations

I’m connecting it through ZHA, can’t find how to make this automation work yet

Figured it out through NodeRed, turned on all events, found that the relevant one is zha_event and from there just watch the log (connect event output to debug node) for data.
