Script condition: how to set numeric state above/below and equal

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I have following script and I would like to set the condition like this: above and equal 23, below and equal 26.

> choose:
>   - conditions:
>       - condition: numeric_state
>         entity_id: sensor.temperature
>         above: '23'
>         below: '26'
>     sequence:
>       - service: scene.turn_on
>         target:
>           entity_id: scene.night
>         metadata: {}
> default: []

I tried to add this:

>         above: '23'
>         equal: '23'
>         below: '26'
>         equal: '26'

But the following error appeared: Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘sequence’][0][‘choose’][0][‘conditions’][0][‘equa’]

Thanks

It cant be “above and equal” you mean “above or equal”

  choose:
    - conditions:
        - condition: or
          conditions:
            - condition: numeric_state
              entity_id: sensor.temperature
              above: '23'
              below: '26'
            - condition: state
              entity_id: sensor.temperature
              state: '26'
            - condition: state
              entity_id: sensor.temperature
              state: '23'

Or if you know that your sensor has only one decimal place of precision in the state you can do this:

  choose:
    - conditions:
        - condition: numeric_state
          entity_id: sensor.temperature
          above: '22.9'
          below: '26.1'

For two decimal places:

  choose:
    - conditions:
        - condition: numeric_state
          entity_id: sensor.temperature
          above: '22.99'
          below: '26.01'

You get the idea?

Also please don’t put > characters at the beginning of every line. It makes it more difficult to copy and edit your config to show you the answer.
