Are you using devtools -> States?

#

Or are you using devtools -> Services?

States 🙂

Set the current state representation of an entity within Home Assistant.
If the entity belongs to a device, there will be no actual communication with that device.

#

That's not really changing it

#

If you want to actually change it, call the service

Thanks, I will try that (number:set I suppose right? 🙂 ). What exactly is the difference? Because the state of the entity is 100, so it would make sense to change that to 90 and set it, but obviously it doesn't work that way haha. Just trying to understand.

The States page under Developer tools is for you to see what the current state of an entity is, and while you can change the value there you're just changing it "in memory" - you're not actually requesting HA does anything.

Think of it like putting a post-it note over the text

#

If you want to actually do anything you have to call a service
