[SOLVED] Min/Max/Average Helper Not Available As Device For Trigger

1

Hi,

I have Min/Max/Average helper for computing average temperature in room. I want to use this averge value for trigger of my fan. But I found, that it cannot be selected as device when creating automations, so I cannot set above and below temperature values. When select “Status” as trigger, it is not working as expected (eg., avg. temperature in room is 28 and I want to set trigger for fan to 27.5). When I do it in “to” field, it is not working. Am I doing something wrong? Or, how to set helper to appear as “sensor.” device?

Thanks

Welcome
You should not select it as a device. Trigger on numerical state and then choose the correct entity.

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.l_temperature
    above: 20

Thank you,

I changed it to Numerical state and it is working now perfectly. Topic can be closed as solved.
