Reference input_text value in button press

Configuration Frontend
1

I have a button that when pressed, will set an IR blasters text input to a value that I have saved in an input_text helper.

The code I have so far does not appear to pass the input_text value but rather the explicit code instead.

I’ve searched around and haven’t found anything that really fixes or explains the problem.

Can anyone point out what I am missing here?

Uhh, according to your initial screenshot, it sure looks like you have literally set the value of your text_input to the very string {{states('input_text.fireplace_power')}}, so when you read the value obviously that is what you will receive?
