Script error "not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']"

I try to create a simple script to set the position for a specified cover. If I use a fix entity_id in the script everything works fine but If I try to use a variable entity_id in the data_template I receive the error “not a valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘entity_id’]”.

As I understand, that should work, but i doesn’t.

set_cover_position:
  sequence:
    - service: cover.set_cover_position
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{{device}}"
        position: >-
          {% if modus == close %}
            0
          {% else %}
            100
          {% endif %}

Thats how I call the script:

  - type: button
    name: "Close cover"
    icon: mdi:arrow-down
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.set_cover_position
      data:
        device: 'cover.dining_room'
        modus: 'close'

I tried a lot of different variations in the data template but nothing works.

What I’m doing wrong?
