I’m trying to create a Flow where I obtain the current temperature of the meat on my smoker and compare it to an input_number boolean input into HA.
Eventually, I would like the flow to warn me when the current temperature approaches the input_number boolean, but first ‘baby steps’. Right now I cannot get the function to trigger on the following Flow:

!
NB I recognize that I reversed the greater than sign within the function as it made testing easier.
What is incorrect about the function and/or flow that will not forward msg.payload.
