How to set up automation rule for the given temperature at the given time?

Hello,
my goal is to make an automation rule for my Z-wave Thermostat 014g0013 based on incoming data from another party (mqtt). The automation rule should set the given temperature at the given time. The incoming data are now represented as a state of an entity, because I am using the influxdb sensor that allows me to populate a sensor state from the database.

The already parsed incoming data also represented as a state of an entity are in following data structure (number of dictionaries in list are variable):

[{'timeOfDay': '10:00', 'value': '25.5'}, {'timeOfDay': '10:58', 'value': '24'}, {'timeOfDay': '11:20', 'value': '23'}, {'timeOfDay': '12:40', 'value': '23'}]

The data is self-explanatory - at time of “timeOfDay” set temperature of “value”. I wrote a code in the template editor which gives me the correct value for my thermostat (as for climate.set_temperature):

{% set list = [{'timeOfDay': "10:32", 'value': '25.5'}, {'timeOfDay': "10:58", 'value': '24'}, {'timeOfDay': "10:00", 'value': '23'}, {'timeOfDay': "11:01", 'value': '23'}] %}
{% for dict in list %}
  {% for y in dict.values() %}
    {% if y == now().strftime('%H:%M') %}
     {{ dict['value'] }}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

Now the problem is how to automate this process. I am thinking about making a automation rule where the trigger part would be a time pattern for every 1 minute. However, I am struggling how to write the condition and action part. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and comments.
