Homematic thermostat - Can't convert type QuantityType with value

Hey guys,
I really need your help. Since 1 week I am playing around to get my homematic thermostats hm-cc-rt-dn working again. As you know since upgrade to 2.4 there is issue with “Can’t convert type QuantityType with value”. I was reading all posts on this topic, but workaround deleting thing and adding again is not working for me. I have changed the rules to use Quantity type conversion. So I guess there is something else wrong.
Strange is, that also my Mode changing is not working.

The log outcome:

2019-01-16 09:34:07.059 [WARN ] [ematic.handler.HomematicThingHandler] - Can’t convert type QuantityType with value ‘22.5 C’ to FLOAT value with DecimalTypeConverter for ‘LEQ0781024:4#SET_TEMPERATURE’, please check the item type and the commands in your scripts

thank you for help in advance.

You are missing the °

Number:Temperature Heating_livingroom_SET_TEMP  "Living room Soll-Temp [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (dospat_livingroom, Heating) {channel="homematic:HG-HM-CC-RT-DN:HOMEGEAR:LEQ0781273:4#SET_TEMPERATURE"}

thank you. Tried it immediately. now I get:

Dear vzorglub,
thank you 1000 times. It is a shame, that after so many checking, I did not see both mistakes. I will try if all fine.

Hi
I can change temperature now. But unfortunatetly mode switching does not work. I have no idea why. “predicted to become NULL” indicated something is not OK.

Blockquote 2019-01-17 10:16:56.618 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘Livingroom_Control_Mode_openHAB’ received command MANU-MODE

This message comes from OH autoupdate. When an Item is sent a command, autoupdate has a guess at what effect that might have on the Item.

In this case a String type item Livingroom_Control_Mode_Manu has been sent the numeric command 21.0 (presumably by some rule we cannot see?)

If you want that command to set the state of the Item, I think you’ll need to send it as a string “21.0” ( .toString is useful)
If you don’t want autoupdate to interfere, you can set it false for that Item.
If you don’t need to send a command at all, just change the state of the Item, use .postUpdate (but I think you’ll still need .toString)

It’s arguable that autoupdate ought to take care of that for you. There might be reasons why it doesn’t.

How did you solved it?
