!'m trying to do a test from a temperature sensor, comparing it to a slider number input from the Home assistant UI.
The UI sets the max temperature desired in a slider, entity: input_number.office_max_temperature
The room temperature is gathered from a Sonoff sensor as sensor.office_temperature
For some reason most of the values are reported as strings in nodered. You can also use JSONata to call an entity inside a node and it will return a number. Rather than entity you would choose J: expression.
