Got it, yet it still complain that it's not a float 🤦‍♂️

Correct, all states are strings

#

Assuming you've used this in a template sensor

#

So if you use it in another template as states('sensor.your_sensor') you will have to cast it to float again

I will need to do some reading casting (as using float(states('...'))) didn't worked for me

#

Funny thing I'm just trying to write a slider for a dimmer as an helper switch
