Working with "number:temperature"

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

The binding for my temperature sensor is now Number:Temperature. When using in a script it seems to consist now of two values: “25.1 ?”.
I need the raw temperature value. How to extract that?
If a change the type back to “Number” after binding, it’s ok.

That does not the trick. The variable still contains e.g. “28.7 ?”

Thanks cweitkamp for the link and your explanation there.
I think I will stay with my trick to change back the “Number:Temperatur” type to simple “Number” after linking in the binding. Also aeotec multisensor does not return the correct unit.
I see no advantage using “Number:Temperatur” variables - just more work.

You are welcome.

Fair enough to use Number only if it is sufficient for you. I guess most of the bindings can deal with both.
