Script and input_slider need help

Configuration
1

Hi

i have made following script:

pillstaken:
  alias: pillstaken
  sequence:
    - service: input_slider.select_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: >
          {% if float(now().strftime("%H")) > 15 %}
            input_select.eveningpillstaken
          {% else %}
            input_select.morningpillstaken
          {% endif %}
        value: 1

but nothing happens when run it, i can see that it chooses the right intity_id, but the value is never changed (nothing happens on the gui)?

the log:

Your service is calling an input_slider but the entity_id is referencing an input_select. Was that intentional?
