Enhanced integrations

Number

Elmo likes numbers too!

The Home Assistant number icon



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

Screenshot of the developer actions tools, listing the new actions for number.
