Call service data number

[dowermyr]

Hi!
How do I set the payload to a data value number? Se below:

Hi @dowermyr

Not many HA users here, but I'll try my best.

• if the value is always the same
  -> set the Data field to desired number

• if the value is coming from an msg object and its already a number
  -> set the Data field to that object Ex : payload

• if the value is coming from an msg object and its NOT already a number
  -> set the Data field to $number(payload)

I don't use HA, therefore this node, but others may chip in, if I am incorrect

EDIT:
You can use $number(payload) regardless to be honest, as if its already a number, it will not convert it
