Hi.
I use an input number to save a float value as a global variable (something HA is still lacking 
) but I am getting an error in the logs:
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not ‘TemplateState’
In my configuration.yaml, the input number is used as:
value_template: “{{ (states.input_number.week_total) | float | round(2) }}”
I understand there is a compatibility problem here, but how do I solve it?
Should the state be saved e.g. to a string variable before converting to a float, and if so, how do I do it in the config file?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance
