Help with input_text config

I am using the script below to make my Nest to go into Eco when triggered by an Automation and then go back to the last setting prior to the triggering. I think I am doing something wrong with my input_text since it is returning a state of unknown. I have added the input_text config below

nest_eco_on:
alias: Nest Thermostat - Set to ECO mode
sequence:
  # Only turn on ECO mode if thermostat is not off and not already in ECO
  # mode.
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
      {{ states('sensor.kitchen_thermostat_hvac_mode')
         not in ['off', 'eco'] }}

  - service: input_text.set_value
    entity_id: input_text.previous_hvac_mode
    data_template:
      value: "{{ states('sensor.kitchen_thermostat_hvac_mode') }}"

  - service: climate.set_preset_mode
    entity_id: climate.kitchen
    data:
      preset_mode: eco
nest_eco_off:
  alias: Nest Thermostat - Return from ECO mode
  sequence:
  # Only set back to previous mode if thermostat is still in ECO mode.
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
    {{ is_state('sensor.kitchen_thermostat_hvac_mode', 'eco') }}

  - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
    entity_id: climate.kitchen
    data_template:
      hvac_mode: "{{ states('input_text.previous_hvac_mode') }}"

this is the input_text

input_text:
  previous_hvac_mode:
    name: previous hvac mode
   pattern: "cool, heat, eco, off, away, auto"
   initial: "auto"

The scripts seem to be working but since it says unknown in the input text it cant complete the cycle.
