Template for number annotations

---

Hi,
When displaying values ending on .0 (e.g. 23.0) Pimatic is displayed it as 23; however 23.1 is displayed as 23.1
Please implement a way to use a kind of template for number annotations
Thanks in Advance

@Was-Verzachter im just curious but why do you want this? What are you trying to do?

@Gleno0h Hi Glen, I have several temperature sensors and I like to Have a nice overview in Pimatic.
By now it looks like:
Outside 23.7°C
Pool 23°C
Living 22.4°C

In config.json:

    {
      "id": "mqtt-esp04-temperature-sensor",
      "name": "Outside",
      "class": "MqttSensor",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "Temperature-sensor",
          "topic": "/esp04/BME280/Temperature",
          "type": "number",
          "unit": "°C"
        }
      ]
    },

I would like to have:
Outside 23.7°C
Pool 23.0°C (mind the .0)
Living 22.4°C

Yes, I can get 23.0 by using a string instead of a number in the device definition (config.json), however then I lose the °C

In config.json:

    {
      "id": "mqtt-esp04-temperature-sensor",
      "name": "Outside",
      "class": "MqttSensor",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "Temperature-sensor",
          "topic": "/esp04/BME280/Temperature",
          "type": "string",
          "unit": "°C"
        }
      ]
    },

Regards,

@Was-Verzachter ah, so its a cosmetic issue you have run in to.

I dont know anythong about the devices you posted but maybe this would work:

Create a variable to hold your 23.0 value, try via a rule to populate that variable.

A variable can also hold the °c symbol, as you can see in my screenshot:

After that just create a variable device with that variable and use a string interpolation:

"Pool: {$YourTempVariable}°c"

Ignore the variable $DeepSleep, its a test variable for me hehe

Result:

This could be a temporary fix for your problem and the dev’s can see if they are going to change it
