Problem with light template: set brightness level

Hi,
I’m a noob writing templates and I configured this light template for a RF light that works with switches for control the brightness:

# Luz indirecta Salacomedor con manejo de dimmer
  - platform: template
    lights:
      luz_indirecta_salacomedor:
        friendly_name: "Luz Indirecta Salacomedor"
        level_template: "{{ states('input_number.brillo_luz_indirecta_salacomedor') }}"
        value_template: "{{ states('input_boolean.luz_indirecta_salacomedor_estado') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: script.ajustar_brillo_luz_indirecta_salacomedor
          data:
            nivel: "{{ 255 }}"
        turn_off:
          service: script.ajustar_brillo_luz_indirecta_salacomedor
          data:
            nivel: "{{ 0 }}"
        set_level:
          service: script.ajustar_brillo_luz_indirecta_salacomedor
          data:
            nivel: "{{ nivel }}"
        supports_transition_template: "{{ false }}"

I can not get the input slider sets the value, the light doesn’t turn on when I move the brightness control slider and when it is on, if I move the brightness control slider the light turn off. What I’m doing wrong (if not is everything)?

Maybe, there is a way to create a light template with minus (-) plus (+) switches that controls the brightness one step at a time?

Did you ever manage to solve the problem of the brightness slider?

I’m running into the same problem now with one single light, while others work fine.
When changing the brightness of the Template Light, the light turns off unexpectedly. Changing the actual light brightness works as expected. Features like color_temp are functioning correctly for both.
