Amounts are strings, not floats about sensor.moneydashboard HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it. Again, great sensor.

Hi Daryn,
Thanks for checking it out!
There's 2 options to solve this:

1. I can provide a configuration option to "convert_to_float" which would pre-format the value for you
2. In your template, you could use the replace method like so: {{ value.replace(",", "") }} which would remove the comma.

The initial idea of this sensor was just to have it so it would automatically feed into lovelace without any additional configuration, but I'm happy to add it if enough people want it.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I would love the option to change it in the config if you have time. I don't think it should be a string to start with. It messes with my history for all my GBP sensors as it picks up a number like 1,000 as 1.

Fair point, I hadn't noticed that.
I'll set the default action to return as a float then put some documentation in on how to template it to have the comma for display purposes.

Won't take too long
