Referencing the current HVAC temp

1

I am wanting to compare the temperatures between two different devices i.e. the temperature in my roof which is easily found by “sensor.roof_temperature” and the current set temperature of my air conditioner.

The problem I am having is my air conditioner has an inside and outside temperature sensor but I can’t work out how to reference the current set temperature.

When looking at the Developer Tools, I can see the following:

hvac_modes:
  - fan_only
  - dry
  - cool
  - heat
  - heat_cool
  - 'off'
min_temp: 7
max_temp: 35
target_temp_step: 1
fan_modes:
  - Auto
  - Silence
  - '1'
  - '2'
  - '3'
  - '4'
  - '5'
preset_modes:
  - none
  - away
  - eco
  - boost
swing_modes:
  - 'Off'
  - Vertical
  - Horizontal
  - 3D
current_temperature: 23
temperature: 18
fan_mode: '2'
hvac_action: cooling
preset_mode: none
swing_mode: 3D
friendly_name: Living Area
supported_features: 57

The automation wizard only lets me refer to the “inside temperature” and not the set “temperature”.

As a test, I tried the following

trigger:
  - type: temperature
    platform: device
    device_id: 7b4c3ab724f0fefc112333bd03132f2c

condition: []
action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.hrv
alias: Test

but when I tried to save, I got "Message malformed: expected float for dictionary value @ data[‘above’]
