Quick Question - SensorValue.ui

Hello,
A quick question what's the difference between SensorValue and SensorValue.ui?

This is coming up from a Fibaro Implant sensor that i'm using to control my central heating temperature.

Just wondered what the difference was, :)

Thanks in advance
Martin

Re: Quick Question - SensorValue.ui

This allows you to have a UI display version of a state, it would not be used in triggers or logic but allows you for example to append degrees C to the numeric value so it looks correctly formatted.

When in a plugin you update the device state you can provide both values, not sure how it is configured for your device.
