Message malformed: expected float for dictionary value @ data['value']

I have seen this error all over the place here but somehow I can’t apply the answers to my situation.
Like all the others I’d like to set a value based on a variable.
Below screenshot shows where I am coming from (point2) and what I want to do (point1)

I have tried quite a few variations, with quotes, without quotes, adding “data:”, whatever I found as proposed solution, but somehow don’t get any further.
In fact, I don’t understand why HA is complaining about a float in the first place? This is supposed to be an integer value but anyway, can’t get it to work in the UI and also not via the automation.yaml.

Anyone got an idea what I might be missing?
Thanks
