Trying to convert my RF fan into an fan entity

Configuration
1

I now have a fan template entity and a script to toggle the rf fan based on what mode it is. The script works when I send a service with a preset mode. But the fan entity it self does not trigger any of the fan speeds except for ‘off’ which is the only one that works. Was wondering if anyone can help me figure out this issue.

Fan template entity:

fan:
  - platform: template
    fans:
      office_rf_fan:
        friendly_name: "Office RF fan"
        value_template: "{{ states('switch.pcroom_wall_switch') }}"
        turn_on:
          - service: script.office_rf_fan_on
        turn_off:
          - service: script.office_rf_fan_off
        percentage_template: "{{ states('input_number.office_rf_fan') }}"
        set_percentage:
          - service: script.office_rf_fan_speed_percentage
            data:
              percentage: "{{ percentage }}"
        preset_mode_template: "{{ states('input_select.office_rf_fan') }}"
        speed_count: 6
        preset_modes:
          - "off"
          - "1"
          - "2"
          - "3"
          - "4"
          - "5"
          - "6"
        set_preset_mode:
          - service: script.office_rf_fan_speed
            data:
              preset_mode: "{{ preset_mode }}"

Script:

office_rf_fan_speed:
  alias: office_rf_fan_speed
  sequence:
    - service: input_select.select_option

  mode: single

Now I’m trying percentage as well, but the entity does not trigger the rf, but manually using the script does.

Percentage script:

office_rf_fan_speed_percentage:
  alias: office_rf_fan_speed_percentage
  sequence:
    - service: input_number.set_value
      target:
        entity_id: input_number.office_rf_fan
      data:
        value: "{{ percentage }}"
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data_template:

Found the issue,

added a persistent notification to my script to check the output of {{ percentage }} and {{ preset_mode }} and it doesn’t have quotation in the output where as in the payload the number is in quotations, removed it and now its working

service: persistent_notification.create
data_template:
  title: Office rf% test
  message: |-
    Msg: {{ percentage }}
