Brightness issue with int in automation

Hello, I want to set brightness (and colors, but the issue is the same) from variables. For example I have variable configured: bedroom_lights_color_bright.

I’m doing this:

data:
  brightness: '{{ states(''input_number.bedroom_lights_color_bright'') | int }}'
  rgb_color:
    - 0
    - 0
    - 255
entity_id: light.bedroom
service: light.turn_on

It will fail with message:

BedroomWallSwitchToggle: Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: expected int for dictionary value @ data['brightness']

state is correct. For instance this (to test) sends correct value (eg: “test 123”):

data:
  message: 'test {{states(''input_number.bedroom_lights_color_bright'') | string}}'
service: telegram_bot.send_message

I’ve read most a lot of threads and examples. Besides in https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_number/
example says:

data:
          entity_id: light.bedroom
          brightness: "{{ states('input_number.bedroom_brightness') | int }}"

I’ve tried different quotes, with and whiteout them.

Eg: doing like this

data:
  brightness: {{ states(''input_number.bedroom_lights_color_bright'') | int }}

will be saved as:

brightness:
  '[object Object]': null

What am I missing? Obviously something simple.
