Pool automation - Help [ SOLVED ]

Configuration
1

Hello

I’m not very knowledgeable in Yaml programming, but with the examples from this and other forums, I’ve been able to automate my home.

I have an automation that stops the pool motors when the filtration cycle is complete, and it works, but I want to go further and set the runtime through an “input number,” but I can’t get it to work in the automation.

In version 1, the automation works perfectly; in version 2, it doesn’t work, and I don’t have the ability to understand why.

Could someone point me to the error?

Version 1 - Working

- alias: Desligar Bomba da Piscina ciclo completo
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.piscina_horas_total_formatado
    above: 680
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.stch_piscina_moes_2gang_switch

Version 1 - Not Working

- alias: v2 Desligar Bomba da Piscina ciclo completo verão
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.piscina_horas_total_formatado
    above: "{{ states('input_number.horas_funcionamento_piscina') | int }}"
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.stch_piscina_moes_2gang_switch

Thank you all

It doesn’t work because above doesn’t support templates. However, it does allow you to specify the entity_id of an Input Number (and other numeric entities).

- alias: v2 Desligar Bomba da Piscina ciclo completo verão
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.piscina_horas_total_formatado
    above: input_number.horas_funcionamento_piscina
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    target:
      entity_id: switch.stch_piscina_moes_2gang_switch
