What is the current value of sensor.office_humidity?

The Numeric State Trigger will trigger at the moment the sensor’s value crosses the threshold value of 50. After crossing the threshold, it won’t trigger again as the humidity continues to increase. It will only trigger when the humidity first decreases below 50 and then rises above it.
