Help with a numeric trigger

I want to create an automation where value of sensor.thermal_comfort_absolutehumidity is higher by 4 as compared to sensor.thermal_comfort_outside_absolutehumidity then an automation is triggered. I am trying to do it the following way but its not working. Getting error Message malformed: expected float for dictionary value @ data[‘condition’][0][‘above’]. Any help?

description: " "
mode: single
trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.thermal_comfort_absolutehumidity
    attribute: humidity
    above: 4
condition:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.thermal_comfort_absolutehumidity
    above: >-
      sensor.thermal_comfort_outside_absolutehumidity {{
      states('sensor.sensor_b') | float + 4 }}"

Hi @Deflector7534

I think you need something more like this:

description: ""
mode: single
trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ states('sensor.thermal_comfort_absolutehumidity') | float(0) - 4 >
      states('sensor.thermal_comfort_outside_absolutehumidity') | float(0) }}
condition: []
action: []
