Conflicting mqtt automations for input_number (slider)?

I am trying to make an input_number slider entity work with an mqtt roller shade. I have 2 automations, the first sets the input_number value when triggered by an mqtt (Set Shade1 slider), and the second sends an mqtt when the slider is moved in the gui (Shade1 slider moved). The mqtt format for the shade is simple. When it is sent a value between 0 and 100 (percentage of closed), it will first send out a json with its current position (position) and the new setting (set). After the shade has completed moving, it sends out another json with the current status (position and setting) and in this transmission, they are always the same (the new set position).

i.e. Assuming current position is 10.

when shade is sent payload: 20
shade returns “set”: 20, “position”: 10
after it finishes moving, shade returns “set”:20, “position”:20

Both automations will work individually (when the other is removed), but when both are present, the shade will move to the new position (as set by the slider or an external source), but then it will move back up to zero in single step increments.

input_number:
  shade1:
    name: Shade1
    mode: slider
    initial: 0
    min: 0
    max: 100
    step: 10
    icon: mdi:blinds

automation:
  - alias: "Set Shade1 slider"
    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: /raw/esp8266/6831410/out
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json.set == trigger.payload_json.position }}"
    action:
      - service: input_number.set_value
        data_template:
          entity_id: input_number.shade1
          value: "{{ trigger.payload_json.position | int }}"

  - alias: "Shade1 slider moved"
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.shade1
    action:
      - service: mqtt.publish
        data_template:
          topic: /raw/esp8266/6831410/in
          retain: true
          payload: "{{ states('input_number.shade1') | int }}"

Thanks
