Number To Fixed

This block formats a number as a string with a fixed number of decimals.

Configuration​

  • Input Number: the number to format.
  • Decimal Places: number of digits after the decimal point. Default 2.

Connections​

  • Result: executed after formatting. The formatted text is available to the following blocks as result_str.

The value is rounded to the nearest value, so 3.14159 with 2 decimal places becomes 3.14. Unlike Number Round Decimal Points, the requested number of decimals is always present in the output, so 3 with 2 decimal places becomes 3.00.

Use this block to format readings before showing them on the LCD or publishing them over MQTT.
