Use curent day name as enity_id reference in condition (alarmclock)

Hello ,
I have an alarm clock with 7 toggles named:
input_boolean.sk1_monday_toggle
input_boolean.sk1_tuesday_toggle
input_boolean.sk1_wednesday_toggle
input_boolean.sk1_friday_toggle
etc…
Now i want to check in the automation condition if the toggle of the present day is set.
this is what i have so far:

Trigger:

platform: template
value_template: >-
  {% set dow = now().strftime("%A")|lower %} {% set input =
  "input_datetime.sk1_"~dow~"_alarm" %} {{ now() >= today_at(states(input)) }} 
alias: Trigger op Date time variabelen

(this seems to work)

condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.sk1_toggle
    state: "on"
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {% set dow = {%  now().strftime("%A")|lower %}  {{
      states('input_boolean.sk1_'~dow'_toggle')}} == 'on'

i have 2 conditions the main toggle alarm clock off/on
and one for each day.

But what is the correct syntax for the day toggle ?
can some on plz. help me with this ?

Gr.
