Using helper Var to set light temp not working.

[obtuse palm]

So i have a helper number that when the sun sets it changes the value from 5500 to 3000, i tried making my lighting script for my lights use this for their kelvin value when i turn them on. But it seems that a helper number is a "input number" not an int.... can i make a helper int?

You need to use a template to reference another entity.

data:
  kelvin: "{{ states('input_number.lighttemp') }}"
