Jeez, I have been trying to get automation (my 1st one so I’m also learning) to work.
I have a generic thermostat entity (is that the right term, a widget on the dashboard to set temp) and a group of entities for a smart TRV. The group includes a slider to set the desired temp. The group is really for diagnostics but I want my thermostat to “send” its setting to the slider (which in turn sends an mqtt message to the TRV). All works bar the thermostat send to slider. The HA log file says:WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.input_number] Invalid value: 0.0 (range 10.0 - 23.0)Irrespective of whatever value I use on the circular dial on the generic thermostat. What on earth is wrong?

The thermostat correctly turns on the boiler if needed.
The slider in the group of sensors works and set the TRV via mqtt
All TRV readings are correct
Just cannot for love or moeny, get the thermostat to send its value to the input_number entity.
