  action:
  - data: {}
    service: script.bedroom_sunrise    

my script.bedroom_sunrise reads;

bedroom_sunrise:
  alias: morning has broken
  sequence:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data:
      brightness_pct: '0'
      entity_id:
      - light.my_room_light_4

      - 255
      - 169
      - 92
      transition: '0'
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      topic: homeassistant/tts/android_johns_phone_tts/tts
      payload: time to wake up dude the current time is "{{ 'states.sensor.time.state' }}" and alarm is set to "{{ 'states.sensor.alarm_1_time.state' }}" with an offset of "{{ 'states.input_number.alarm_1_offset.state' }}" set to "{{ 'states.sensor.alarm_1_time_minus_offset.state' }}" Weekdays ("{{ 'states.input_boolean.alarm_1_weekday.state' }}" ) and Weekends ("{{ 'states.input_boolean.alarm_1_weekend.state' }}" ) 00:"{{ 'states.input_number.alarm_1_offset.state | int' }}":00

But on alarm activation the payload reads exactly as it is written rather than returning the values of the template.
Now I am sure it is a ‘thunder-fingers’ error (read typo or misunderstanding) for the life of me I cannot see it!

I have tried a couple of permutations but am as yet unable to wrap my head round it?

examples, guidance, and pointers to docs are all appreciated.

Happy New Year to you all may it gift you with the learning you need to succeed!
