Climate set temp = input_number using a template?

Im not brilliant at templates, but is it possible to make the set temp of a climate entity = the value of an input_number by using a template???

Id rather not have to use an automation (starting to get a bit crazy the # of automations needed to complete something simple)

I’m not aware of a possibility to template target_temp
If it’s only a frontend issue, you can use a button or any card that accepts a tap action and call a service.

If you use the generic thermostat and scheduler you can make the set temp as complicated as you like. Here are screen shots from Lovelace.

The schedule

http://homeassistant.local:8123/hacs/repository/286186485 is for scheduler install.

You can also schedule anything using the integration. This will help with the multiple automations.
