JSONata If state fails for Events state node

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi,

I´m having an issue with an events state node.

I want to send out payload only if sensor “dwd_forecast_tempmax” is greater than “cover_temp_min”.

So i created an if state JSONata:

$entities("sensor.dwd_forecast_tempmax").state > $entities("input_number.cover_temp_min").state

Today dwd_forecast_tempmax was about 7, cover_temp_min was 18 and the node reported true.

What is my fault?

States coming from Home Assistant are almost always strings. Need to convert them to numbers to compare them.

$number($entities("sensor.dwd_forecast_tempmax").state) > $number($entities("input_number.cover_temp_min").state)

perfect! Works like a charm. Thank you!
