Reset Input Number via Automation

I’m close but I can’t seem to figure out this automation.

I have a PLC that provides the hourly runtime of my sump pump. This value appears in HA as sensor.current_hour_runtime. It resets to zero at the start of each hour.

I have an input number that I want to use to track how long my sump pump has run each day (input_number.cumulative_sump_pump_runtime).

I wrote a small automation that adds the current hour runtime to the cumulative runtime at 59 minutes and 30 seconds past the hour. This seems to be working well.

I want to reset the daily runtime value at 11:59:30 each day. I can’t seem to master how the reset value should be configured in the automation. I get these errors in my log:

Error while executing automation automation.update_sump_pump_daily_runtime. Invalid data for call_service at pos 2: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘value_template’]

Here is the automation as I currently have it:

  - alias: update sump pump daily runtime
    initial_state: True
    trigger:
      platform: time_pattern
      minutes: 59
      seconds: 30
    action:
      - service: input_number.set_value
        data_template:
          entity_id: input_number.cumulative_sump_pump_runtime
          value: "{{ states('sensor.current_hour_runtime')|int + states('input_number.cumulative_sump_pump_runtime')|int }}"
      - service: input_number.set_value
        data_template:
          entity_id: input_number.cumulative_sump_pump_runtime
          value_template: >
            {% if (now().hour == 23 ) %}
              0
            {% endif %}

I’ve tried Value: 0 and {{ states(‘input_number.cumulative_sump_pump_runtime’) = 0 }} but neither seem to work even though they pass the built in configuration validation.

Thank you in advance for your help formatting that if/then in the Value_template section.
