I am trying to change an input_number within an Automation.
When I define an absolute number, everything runs smoothly:
However, when I try to use another input_number, it does not work:
I have tried the following combinations in the “Service data” field after reading through some documentation and past forum topics:
value: {{input_number.temperature_day}}
value: '{{input_number.temperature_day}}'
value: states(input_number.temperature_day)
value: {{states('input_number.temperature_day')}}
value: '{{states('input_number.temperature_day')}}'
But nothing works. Any hints how to proceed?

value: '{{states('input_number.temperature_day') | float }}'
should do.

Thank you for the fast response. Your proposed solution does not work for me: the value of input_number.temperature_current does not change.

I copied the errors in the log:

You need to mix double quotes with single quotes (or use double-single-quotes), otherwise you break the YaML
value: "{{ states('input_number.temperature_day') | float }}"
or
value: '{{ states(''input_number.temperature_day'') | float }}'

Thanks, your suggestion to use double quotes fixed it! Now it behaves like expected.
