Entity ID: number ... how do I display it in AppDaemon

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

May be a stupidly simple question…but I can’t find documentation on it.

I am using the Recteq integration and can display temps etc…they are ‘sensor’ s. I want to also view the set point temp…it is available as a ‘number’. I don’t want to set it…just view it. I have created hundreds of widgets with switches and sensors…but don’t know what do use with this.

Entity ID: number.back_patio_recteq_bbq_right_setpoint

Thanks

number entities are just states. for read only you use them like a sensor.

in appdaemon: self.get_state(“number.back_patio_recteq_bbq_right_setpoint”)

in hadashboard / a custom widget, point the widget at that entity id the same way you do for sensor.* . you do not need a special number widget if you are not calling set_value.

if the widget type refuses number domains, make a template sensor that copies the number state and show that instead.
