Formatting Numbers #115

Closed marcolino7 closed 7 months ago

marcolino7 commented 7 months ago

Hi, I use this plugin to templating some numbers. I am in Italy so we use comma as decimal separator and dot as thousand separator. image As you can see in screenshoot, the red rounded line is templated, comma separator il wrong and thousand separator missing. All other values that are not templated, are fine. Here is template I use: {{ state_attr('sensor.consumo_caldaia', 'last_period') | float }} Wh

Thanks in Advance Marco

Could you test this template in Dev tools -> Template? I observe SAME output for all defined number formats.

Seems this is a common issue with templates in HA. The number is stored in DB as a string with a "point" separator (seems to be); only Frontend shows converted values dependingly on user settings. But templates give us data "as is". Check the Markdown card too - it shows "raw" data too:

image In short - this is not a bug. This happens because we show data "as is" and do not apply a filter "convert_to_local_settings" (because there is no such a filter in Templating exposed to users).

Hi, image you are right. I will ask to HA community.
