Temperatura error in automation

Configuration
1

Hi,

I tried to create an automation with a Netatmo Station to activate a plug when it goes below a number of degrees, but when I go to automations.yaml it gives me an error. The error states “incorrect type. Expected Number”.

I tried to removed the “.” and to add a “,” instead, but issue it’s the same. Checking also on how Netatmo is showing data is with a “.”. The error it’s shown in "above: ‘22.5’ and the automation is not working. (The temperature is high just as a test).

Screenshot on how I set up the automation attached:

You gotta remove the quotes as they turn the number into a string.

Does the sensor show the temperature directly or in a specific attribute of the entity?
Remove this:

attribute: unit_of_measurement

Unit_of_measurement is “°C”, not the actual temperature, that’s why you get the error.

Hi!

Thanks both for your help. Removing the quotes solved the issue.

I don’t understand why the dashboard used to creating the automation add them.

Thanks again to both of you for the fast reply!
