[Bug]: sensor.home_uber_eats_driver_latitude throwing ValueError exceptions

[Djelibeybi]

Describe the Bug

Upgraded to 1.4.6 via HACS and am seeing the following error in the log:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Thank you for taking your time out to report it.

In a nutshell The uber_eats sensor platform is registering sensor.home_uber_eats_driver_latitude and sensor.home_uber_eats_driver_longitude as numeric sensors, but when there is no active order the integration returns the string No active order. Home Assistant then tries to coerce that into a float and fails, so the entity cannot be added. Me being human for got to make it return your HA home lat & lon.

Will patch in next update
