Help with passing position to script

Hi All,

I have made an automation to close blinds half way when the sun is too intensive and UV index is above 1 in two sunny rooms (each has its own cover). I would like to close the blinds half way from where they are, each time the automation starts. Ultimately, either the temperature in the sunny rooms stabilizes, or the automation would completely close the blinds.

Here is the automation entry (automation.yaml).

I have spent hours searching for the error and cannot find it. If I put a number in the first action service, such as 50, it works very well. But as soon as I set the expression, it fails with the following error:

Error executing script script.1583004153017. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: expected int for dictionary value @ data['position']

In the template editor screen, the expressiion : {{ ((0 + states.cover.kitchen_blinds_controller.attributes.current_position )/2)| int}} gives the value 23.

  - data:

Any help to figure where the error is would be great…

Thanks in advance,
Felix
