Value-template with field-variable in a script > correct format?

Configuration
1

Hi,

in a script i’ve defined a field einschaltdauer (which is a input_number) and the first if-clause won’t work…!?
what am i doing wrong with the format of my template - i’m trying to first do a comparison and if true do a multiplication.:
`

  - if:
        condition: template
        value_template: "{{ (float(states(einschaltdauer|int)))<60 }}"
    then:
      - service: homematicip_local.switch_set_on_time
        data:
          on_time: "{{ einschaltdauer|int(0)*60 }}"
        target:
          entity_id: "{{homematic_kanal_entity}}"

Without seeing how you defined einschaltdauer this is difficult to answer. Please ensure you include all relevant information in future questions.

Assuming einschaltdauer contains the input number entity id and not the value:

  - if:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ states(einschaltdauer)|int < 60 }}"
    then:
      - service: homematicip_local.switch_set_on_time
        data:
          on_time: "{{ states(einschaltdauer)|int * 60 }}"
        target:
          entity_id: "{{homematic_kanal_entity}}"

If einschaltdauer contains the value of the input number then you would do this:

  - if:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ einschaltdauer|int < 60 }}"
    then:
      - service: homematicip_local.switch_set_on_time
        data:
          on_time: "{{ einschaltdauer|int * 60 }}"
        target:
          entity_id: "{{homematic_kanal_entity}}"
