Set decimal and thousands separator

Questions & Help
1

Where can I set the decimal and the thousand separator?

Readings like 17.429 kWh are really confusing when 17,4 kWh is meant!

I don’t think you can…

But you mean 17.429 kWh versus 17,429 kWh I assume ?

More frustrating is you háve to use a dot in decimals like 1.5 in a lot of places, but then when you save it is automaticly changed to 1,5

Big chance you use a comma when you want to edit the number !

Yes, but just to show that 3 decimals behind a dot makes the dot look like a thousands separator.

I will contact Athom.

you could use HomeScript like:

// Keep raw number, format for display only
const kwh = 17.429;
const formatted = kwh.toLocaleString('en-US', { 
  maximumFractionDigits: 3,
  minimumFractionDigits: 3 
});  // "17.429"

await log(formatted + ' kWh');

or use

function toDotDecimal(input) {
  if (typeof input === 'number') return input;
  
  // Handle both NL ("17,429") and US ("17.429") + thousands
  return parseFloat(
    String(input)
      .replace(/\./g, '')      // Remove all dots (thousands separators)
      .replace(',', '.')       // Convert comma to dot (decimal)
  );
}

It is all over the place, also in standard tiles.

.. very annoying indeed and it shouldn’t be like this, but for the time being maybe a script that you can call would be a plaster on the wound?
