#Automation sets value as float as first and then floored immediately after

In the trace it looks like the automation is setting it twice, but i'm not actually quite sure how to interpret it
would very much appreciate any pointers^^

Does the numberentity actually support a float?
thin edge
hmm, i guess in the UI it's only an integer
it's this device: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/014G2461.html

It almost certainly only supports whole numbers
thin edge
there's also something exposed on the device via MQTT to set the value, but i haven't been able to make that work with a jinja2 template to actually set the value
like this as the action:
device_id: 9c3e6715d9308bb4e7b7b3fd76109115
domain: number
entity_id: number.thermostat_external_measured_room_sensor
type: set_value
value: ???
and here the value field expects a float, but I don't know how to use a template here
thin edge
okay, service call is what i'm doing i think (in my initial post)

hmm, do you think this could be misconfigured on zigbee2mqtt's side?
the type is just reported as numeric
it would be very weird for the device to not support floats there, that's why i'm sceptical

Why would it be weird?
thin edge
temp in whole degrees isn't very accurate, and it reports its own temps with two decimal points
although it doesn't make much sense to me, in the manufacturer docs: https://assets.danfoss.com/documents/193613/AM375549618098en-000102.pdf they list int16 for that value (local temperature) too, just like the one i'm trying to set (External Measured Room Sensor)
also because they say to "update the value every 0.1k change"

It could be a limitation of Z2M 
(or more accurately, the converter written for it in Z2M)
thin edge
do you happen to know from where home assistant takes the information that it's integers only?
red flicker
I'd guess it's in the attributes of the entity
For instance, I see one that lists
min: 2
max: 65535
step: 1
ahh okay! thanks, I'll check that later
thin edge
yeahh it's step: 1
min: -8000
max: 3500
step: 1
mode: auto```I got it, I kind of read over it in the manual, I need to multiply the value *100
