Allow Current State Node If State to be converted to boolean from on/off without forcing the State Type to boolean.

[niemyjski]

I'm using latest stable of hassio + nodered. I have an input boolean that I check to see if I should enable all my automations. I noticed that the state type is correctly converted to boolean but the if state condition type is always evaluated to a string so when the expression is evaluated it's check !!condition is always true. I believe the correct behavior would be to set the if state condition type to the same state type we are converting too (currently state type is converted to a boolean but the if state condition is treated as a string.

Update: This is fixed, however it would be really nice to use Boolean logic on the If State without changing the state type to boolean. Should I create a new issue or update the description on this one?

Also it would be really nice if you change the state type to boolean / number maybe the if statement just becomes a checkbox or number field.

Based on the screenshot I would say you're not using the latest release of this package. I don't use hass.io but my guess would be you're using a version from around the time that ingress was added to the Node-RED add-on. What version does the NR palette manager say is installed?

The current version of this package should show something like this when you're editing the current-state node.

It says 0.10.2 is the version I'm using.

Yeah I'm way out of date. I gotta figure out why this isn't being updated by the hassio package.

I don't understand exactly what you're asking for? Have an example?
