Best way to set switch on switch off priorities

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi team !

I’m looking for the best ways to set solar routing priorities:
I can gradually route percentage of my production to my water heater then switch on/off 4 different 1000W heaters with inertia. I am looking for the best way to set priorities in my heaters.
I was thinking of 4 different dropdown list : priority1, priority2, priority3, priority4. I tried the below yaml only with priority1 dropdown list ( the other remaining “hardcoded”).

I’m using “{{‘switch.’~states(‘input_select.priority1’)|slugify}}” to create my entity_ID from the dropdown name and it turns out good in the developper tools/template, HA finds no issue in the yaml, I reload my automation. But it gets diabled in the integration / automation section.

Is there a better way than 4 different dropdowns ? what I want is really set on order.

What am I doing wrong recreating my entity ID from the dropdown option ?

thanks.

here is my automation code for context
