As I suggested in my previous post:

I think the output of the blue node is a string "24.0" not a number 24.  
In the function use  
`msg.payload = Number(msg.payload) + 2`  
which converts the payload to a number before adding the 2. As you have it, because it is a string, it add "2" to the end of the string "24.0" to get "24.02"

I've updated your forum account 'Transmruk-Peres' so the posting issue shouldn't be a problem now.  
Please don't create any more accounts, if you have any further posting issues, just ask a moderator 😉
