Node Red - Helper value vs Current Temperature

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi,

We’re using AC’s to heat some rooms during the winter. I made a node-red flow to turn the AC on when the temp is below a certain value and turn it of if it is above another value. That works.

Now I want to make those temperatures dynamic by using a helper that I show on my dashboard and can ajust if I want to. I just can’t figure out how to check if the current temperature is higher (or lower) then the helper value. I want to replace the “21” value in the screenshot for my helper value.

Note also that you’re currently comparing a string to a number. You should also change “State Type” to number.
