How do i get this to trigger based on a helper input value? Ik visual editor isn't as good as YAML, but that's all i know how to use.
#Helper Value check

I think input numbers have a habit of making their state like "2.0" instead of "2", that might be tripping you up.
also that template is not the right way to test an entity state
You don't need a template, just use a state trigger, and set "2.0" as the state.

For state trigger, what attribute? There's nothing like current value or anything
stray crag
no attribute, leave it blank
chrome skiff
no attribute, leave it blank
Still doesnt work, with or without the decimal. Does it have to be a string?
stray crag
if you're using the UI it will always be a string
show what you've got?
you don't need to add quotes or anything
chrome skiff
I tried with the decimal too
stray crag
No quotes, just enter 2.0 in the box.
If that doesn't work please share an automation trace of it not working.
Also check developer-tools/states and see if the entity state says 2.0
chrome skiff
No quotes, just enter `2.0` in the box.
Now it works, tysm
