Problems comparing values: Absolute humidity "above 10"

[ghulmarduk]

I don´t know if this is the fault of the integration or my script calling it´s values; if the value of "absolute humidity" reaches 10, it´s counted less than that (?).

e.g. at this moment the absolute humidity in my garden is 13,9 g/m³ and in my cellar 9,8 g/m³, but my script outputs a "True" though it should be a "False". When absolute humidity in my garden is below 10 everything works as intended.

this is the script: {% if states('sensor.keller_absolute_humidity') > states('sensor.aussen_absolute_humidity') %} true {% else %} false {% endif %}

and this is the entry in my configuration.yaml: `thermal_comfort:

• custom_icons: true sensor:
  • name: Aussen poll: true temperature_sensor: sensor.netatmo_heidburg_indoor_draussen_temperature humidity_sensor: sensor.netatmo_heidburg_indoor_draussen_humidity sensor_types:
    • absolute_humidity unique_id: beaf27f0-a57f-4abf-ae26-95043f519951
  • name: Keller poll: true temperature_sensor: sensor.heidburg_keller_temperature humidity_sensor: sensor.heidburg_keller_humidity sensor_types:
    • absolute_humidity unique_id: 0740910d-5d43-451a-9aa0-54c815e74ee1`

Update: the absolute humidity in my cellar just went up to 10,2 g/m³ and the script outputs a "False" as intended.

This is happening because you're comparing the values as strings. This leads to "alphabetical" sorting, where 1 comes before 9. You can solve it by parsing the values properly, like so:

{% if states('sensor.keller_absolute_humidity') | float > states('sensor.aussen_absolute_humidity') | float %} true {% else %} false {% endif %}

Furthermore, you're essentially saying {% if true %}true{% else %}false{% endif %} which is unnecessary. The following would suffice: {% states('sensor.keller_absolute_humidity') | float > states('sensor.aussen_absolute_humidity') | float %}.

Thank you so much - i´ll try that out.

Edit: Works like a charm. Thanks a lot.
