Block: Compare Numbers Matcher

Type: matcher_compare

Create smart triggers based on numerical sensor data and thresholds. Perfect for temperature alerts ('notify when above 80°F'), battery monitoring ('warn when below 20%'), humidity control ('turn on fan when over 60%'), or any sensor-based automation that depends on numerical comparisons.

Fields

Op

Choose how to compare your feed's numerical data:

• =: Exactly equal: Triggers when feed value equals your number (e.g., button state = 1, exact temperature reading = 72.5°F). Best for digital switches and precise measurements.
• ≠: Not equal: Triggers when feed value is anything other than your number (e.g., not zero, sensor reading changed from baseline). Useful for detecting changes or non-specific states.
• ‏<: Less than: Triggers when feed value drops below your threshold (e.g., temperature < 60°F for heating alerts, battery < 15% for low power warnings).
• ‏≤: Less than or equal: Triggers when feed value is at or below threshold (e.g., humidity ≤ 30% for dry air alerts, speed ≤ 0 for stopped condition).
• ‏>: Greater than: Triggers when feed value exceeds your threshold (e.g., temperature > 85°F for cooling alerts, motion count > 10 for high activity).
• ‏≥: Greater than or equal: Triggers when feed value meets or exceeds threshold (e.g., pressure ≥ 1000 hPa for weather tracking, light level ≥ 500 for daylight detection).

Inputs

B

Set your comparison threshold or target value. Examples: 80 for temperature alerts, 20 for battery percentage warnings, 1000 for pressure readings, or any numerical value that's meaningful for your sensor data.
