Set xy_color with a template value

Hi everyone.
I’m trying to integrate the various functions that the zigbee remote control has, and I’m stuck on some things.
I’ll explain:
The device in question is: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/MLI-404011.html integratet with Zigbee2Mqtt, and works correctly.
When i press the color circle, in the log have the x and y value on color based, like:

zigbee2mqtt:info  2020-03-27 20:57:21: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/Tint', payload '{"linkquality":70,"rate":100,"action_color":{"x":0.118,"y":0.197},"action":"color_wheel","transition_time":0}'

I have created a sensor to extract exactly the x and y values, like this:

sensor:
  - platform: "mqtt"
    name: Tint Remote XY
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/Tint"
    availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    icon: "mdi:gesture-double-tap"
    value_template: '{{ value_json.action_color.x }},{{ value_json.action_color.y }}'

and everything is ok. I have the sensor.tint_remote_xy with the value 0.118,0.197
Now i want to use this sensor in the automation, like this:

automation:
- alias: Tint Ser Color Led strip TV
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/Tint
  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: light.led_tv
      brightness: 250
      xy_color: ['{{ states.sensor.tint_remote_xy.state }}']

but something goes wrong. The Automation triggered correctly but does not set the color. It works properly if i put:

xy_color: [0.118,0.197]

How to adjust this problem? thank you :slight_smile:

Try this:

xy_color:
- "{{ states('sensor.tint_remote_xy').split(',')[0] | float }}"
- "{{ states('sensor.tint_remote_xy').split(',')[1] | float }}"

Even though what you have looks like a list, it’s really a string.

Thanks.
As in your example, it works. But some time ago remember i doing differently, all in a row as in my example. It could be? or you don’t know any other solution? Anyway, thank you so much for the solution.
