Number

The number integration provides numeric inputs to control devices & services. It differs from the input number helper in that the user does not directly create it but rather by other integrations.

Spook adds some new services to the number integration, which allows you to set the value to the minimum or maximum value, and adds services to increase and decrease services the number value by a given amount.

Devices & entities¶

Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.

Uses cases¶

Some use cases for the enhancements Spook provides for this integration:

• Quickly, with a single service call, set the value of a number entity to its maximum or minimum value.
• Add the ability to increase or decrease the value of a number entity with a single service call instead of having to call the number.set_value service using a template that does calculations on the current state.
