Issue with rule to automate solar charging of electric car

@BasRaayman

I just need to figure out how to convert the state which contains 7453.2109375 W to an integer number

Alternatively, leave it alone and change what you compare it to. (This will take care of unit conversions too)

if (kostal_solar_power.state > 4 | kW)

[SOLVED] Comparaison with OpenWeatherMap temperature

Your Item has UoM, Units of Measurement. So it’s effectively 15 °C not just 15, and comparing with just 12 is apples-and-oranges. This is one of the clumsier parts of UoM. You can either extract just-the-number or compare with a temperature. if( (localHourlyForecast12Temperature.state as QuantityType<Number>).intValue <= 12 ) if( localHourlyForecast12Temperature.state <= 12 | "°C" )
