Using variable in an automation

Configuration
,
1

H,
I would like to finetune my automation.
I want to compute my availablePower differently when the wallbox is charging in ecomode.

I tried to replace with {{ availablePower }} but it will not work and I kow Why now.

So I tried to compute new energy values to change the automation later.

My main problem is, that the result of the template is not transferred to the automation. I tried tos end it in the last step but I get an empty string.
In the template esitor it shows correct values. Whats wrong?

okay, first mistake:
I forgot the quotation marks:

variables:
  availablePower: >
    {% if is_state('select.wattpilot_charging_mode', 'Eco') and
    is_state('input_select.vorrang_uberschussverbrauch', 'Pool') %}
      "{{ (states('sensor.wattpilot_charging_power') | float + states('sensor.solarnet_leistung_netzeinspeisung') | float)  }}"
    {% else %}
      "{{ states('sensor.solarnet_leistung_netzeinspeisung') | float }}"
    {% endif %}

Okay,
did it like that:

Those quotation marks shouldn’t be there… you have already used the > multi-line quote indicator.
