there are lots of examples in the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#numeric-state-trigger

#

such as:

automation:
  triggers:
    - trigger: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.outside_temperature
      # Other entity ids can be specified for above and/or below thresholds
      above: sensor.inside_temperature

do note that this only triggers on state changes of sensor.outside_temperature
