Proximity Presence with iPhone 12 Error "Cannot be processed as a number"

Configuration
1

Running automation to turn on/off alarm when leaving or approaching Home Zone.

This was working fine as set alarm on leaving and turned off on arriving. But now has the home nearest error. See below.

Don’t understand as distant is numeric in my mind.

I have reset the HA OS ( restored to backup that was working) , restarted all iPhones…re-installed Companion app, made sure that Always ALLOW LOCATION, maximum accuracy…

Below is my configuration and the automation code (set up in HA UI)

Error:
"In ‘numeric_state’ condition: entity sensor.home_nearest_device state ‘XXiphone’ cannot be processed as a number.
