Automation to turn on switch only if wind is below certain number

Configuration
1

I found this forum post from a few years ago and I thought my solution was going to work based on this but it doesn’t seem to be.

What I’m looking to do is have my smart switch flip ON if the wind is below 4MPH, otherwise don’t do anything. This is what my current situation is below. Am I using it wrong?

trigger:
  - platform: time

condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: weather.home
    attribute: wind_speed
    state: < 4
action:
  - type: turn_on

For the condition, try numeric_state below 4…if not already noticed… the GUI helps you set this up.

Am I missing where that is?

Am not familiar with that one as on container version 2022.11.3 …but the image you shared shows a (for me) older look at automations (couple of months at least)
Without the numeric_state there is also a solution but for now I have no time so maybe someone else can chime in…else tomorrow

Thank you, going to update and see if that helps with anything.

Full updated and was able to get those options, I think I’m set!

Great, if happy mark one of the post ‘solution’ (does not always exist in each post) … so others can see this too
