var Number CurrentValue = (Bad_temp.state as QuantityType<Temperature>).doubleValue

I recently ran into something similar trying to use a value in a string without the unit, and used this…

val String testTemp = gTemperatureUpstairs.state.format("%.0f")

Which means these could also be used…

val Integer testTemp1 = Integer::parseInt(gTemperatureUpstairs.state.format("%.0f"))
val Double testTemp2 = Double::parseDouble(gTemperatureUpstairs.state.format("%.3f"))

To do this the way you were trying, it would need to be like this…

var Number CurrentValue = (Bad_temp.state as QuantityType<Number>).doubleValue

So what is the correct way to check if that item state is of QuantityType?

I don’t know the answer to this one, but could you describe why you would need it? Since you’ve defined the item, then wouldn’t you already know this?
