Dropdown automation script question

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,
I have created a dropdown, and an automation that calls a script and passes the to_state.state.
The automation works, the script is always called.
The dropdown has several options as (‘Urlaub’ , ‘zu Hause’ , ‘im Büro’)
The script should decide via a choose block from the to_state.state which action to call. But only my default action is triggert.
How can I execute actions in the script depending on the to_state.state of the dropdown?

automation code:

- id: '10000000000005'
  alias: Heizungssteuerung
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
    - input_select.dropd
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: script.set_temperature_all_devices
    data:
      state: '{{trigger.to_state.state}}'
  mode: single'

Script code:

set_temperature_all_devices:
  description: set_temperature_all_devices
  sequence:
  - choose:
    - conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ state == Urlaub }}'
      sequence:
      - service: mqtt.publish
        data:
          topic: Testing
          payload: '{{ state }}'
    default:
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data:
        title: Testing
        message: 'Test: ''{{ state }}''

Change this:

value_template: '{{ state == Urlaub }}'

To this:

value_template: '{{ state == "Urlaub" }}'

  • With the quotes, Urlaub is handled as a string.

  • Without the quotes, it’s handled as the name of variable.
