Split state to retrieve specific info

Configuration
1

I have a sensor that outputs 3 numbers split with a “,”

sensor.coordination_168d0003a4cb54
state sample: 93,92,-682

I want to create an automation based on the number at the 3rd place (in this example -682).

Is there a way to retrieve only that number from the state?

So the state of the sensor is “sample: 93,92,-682”?

if so then you can create a template sensor and use the split method to get what you want:

{{ state(‘sensor.coordination_168d0003a4cb54).split(’,’)[2] }}

EDIT:

It’s been kindly pointed out that I forgot an ‘s’:

{{ states('sensor.coordination_168d0003a4cb54).split(',')[2] }}
