Hy to everyone!

i createt my first rule

rule "Change all Dimmers"
when
    Item Master_Volume_Slider changed
then
    var previousValue = Master_Volume_Slider.previousState as Number
    var newValue = Master_Volume_Slider.state as Number
    var Difference = newValue - previousValue
    Master_Volume.forEach( i | i.sendCommand((i.state as Number) + Difference))
end

when the rule is triggered by sliding the Master Volume slider, i get this error in the Log.

2018-02-17 23:13:36.097 [ERROR] [ntime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule ‘Change all Dimmers’: Could not cast org.openhab.core.persistence.internal.QueryablePersistenceServiceDelegate$1@2abd16 to java.lang.Number; line 5, column 25, length 44

Could someone tell me, what this error is meaning?

Is there an error in my code or in my configuration of openhab?

Thanks!

Hi there,
I seem to recognise this rule!
Have you got persistence set up?
You need this to access the previousState property

Change it to Master_Volume_Slider.previousState().state and it should work
