Templating value in automation action

Configuration

Hello,
This code works fine

- id: aeea0bd8-e977-4aa4-a77d-1401b2d259f3
  alias: XMC-1 SFX volumes DZ to HA
  description: ""
  variables:
    indexes:
      612: input_number.idx612
      613: input_number.idx613
      614: input_number.idx614
      615: input_number.idx615
    entity: "{{ indexes.get(trigger.topic.split('/') | last | int(0), 'unknown') }}"
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: domoticz/out/#
  condition: "{{ entity != 'unknown' }}"
  action:
    service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      entity_id: "{{ entity }}"
      value: '{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 * 32) - 16) | round(0) }}'

However I’d like to use the same code for another index (619) for which the value computation is somewhat different.
I tried many flavors without success so far, like:

    value: >
      {% if {{ entity }} == 'input_number.idx619' %}
        '{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 * 75) - 70) | round(0) }}'
      {% else %}
        '{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 * 32) - 16) | round(0) }}'
      {% endif %}

or

      value: >
      "{{ iif ( {{ entity }} == 'input_number.idx619', 
        '{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 * 32) - 16) | round(0) }}', 
        '{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 * 32) - 16) | round(0) }} ) }}'

Can I achieve what I’m trying to do?
Thank you

You can’t nest templates like {% {{ }} %} or {{ {{ }} }}, just use the variable as is…

- id: aeea0bd8-e977-4aa4-a77d-1401b2d259f3
  alias: XMC-1 SFX volumes DZ to HA

  variables:
    indexes:
      612: input_number.idx612
      613: input_number.idx613
      614: input_number.idx614
      615: input_number.idx615
      619: input_number.idx619
    entity: "{{ indexes.get(trigger.topic.split('/') | last | int(0), 'unknown') }}"
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: domoticz/out/#
  condition: "{{ entity != 'unknown' }}"
  action:
    service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      entity_id: "{{ entity }}"
      value: >
        {% set v_pct = trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int / 100 %}
        {{ iif ( entity == 'input_number.idx619', ((v_pct * 75) - 70), ((v_pct * 32) - 16) ) | round(0) }}

Thank you very much for your help

If you are interested, here’s another way to do the same thing.

- id: aeea0bd8-e977-4aa4-a77d-1401b2d259f3
  alias: XMC-1 SFX volumes DZ to HA
  description: ""
  variables:
    i: "{{ trigger.topic.split('/') | last | int(0) }}"
    index: "{{ i if i in [612, 613, 614, 615, 619] else 'unknown' }}"
    a: "{{ 32 if index != 619 else 75 }}"
    b: "{{ 16 if index != 619 else 70 }}"
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: domoticz/out/#
  condition: "{{ index | is_number }}"
  action:
    service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      entity_id: "input_number.idx{{ index }}"
      value: "{{ ((trigger.payload_json.svalue1 | int(0) / 100) * a - b) | round(0) }}"
