Unexpected behavior with negative number in template

Configuration

Hi everyone, I need your help!
I can’t use this template with negative values!!!
The values are related to a temperature sensor
I already tried with positive values and I had no problems
Thanks in advance

- wait_template: "{{ states('sensor.sonoff_congelacao_temperatura') | int > -18 }}"
   timeout: '01:00:00'
   continue_on_timeout: true

There’s no difference between negative or positive values in a wait template. I’m guessing you’re miss understanding how wait templates work. What’s the expectation of this?

Already solved, changing int to float!
So there was a diference between a negative and positive number in wait template an work with float instead of int.

- wait_template: "{{ states('sensor.sonoff_congelacao_temperatura') | float > -18 }}"
   timeout: '01:00:00'
   continue_on_timeout: true

There’s no difference from it being in a wait_template. You keep saying that and it’s not correct, others looking at your responses will think the same thing.

When you convert a string number to an integer, it floors the absolute value of the result. I.e. 9.9 will go to 9. -9.9 will go to -9. This was most likely the cause of your issues.
