Thanks for this solution. I did not realise the homeassistant/start trigger. I now used this option in the following manner:

I created an input_number helper variable.
Each time the target temperature changes, I use an automation to set the input_number with the temperature value.
I use the homeassistant/start trigger automation as you give above to set the target temperature, reading the value from the input_number.

In this way, I do not have to use a separate file, I keep everything within the homeassistant environment itself.
