Using helper value in automation?

You’re using a Device Action to set an entity’s value. A Device Action doesn’t support templates and you will need to use a template to get the helper’s value. Replace the Device Action with a Service Call (because a Service Call supports templates).

Please post your automation as YAML, not as a screenshot.
