And what s the data in the render node | Home Assistant | Page 1

#

i couldn't determine how to access any of the msg.payload information from within the ha render template node, so i was adding it in a node red template node. would simplify if i could just access the msg from the template in the ha render templat enode... am i missing something?

#

basically... a binary_sensor gets flopped and i generate a note of when it changed and who changed it. i was using the ha render template to output a log

Send me a screenshot of the nodes please.

#

Just the flow, not the content...not yet anyway

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

lots of debug stuff... not much more than what you had in your screenshot.

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

Do you have those debug nodes set to "complete msg object"?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

sure do

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

Can you send me a screenshot of the debug output and the data you want to access within it?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

node red template ```{{ data.event.new_state.attributes.friendly_name }} has been {% if ({{ payload}}) %}Enabled{% else %}Disabled by {% endif %}
{{=<% %>=}}
{{ states.person|selectattr("attributes.user_id", "==", "{{ data.event.new_state.context.user_id}}")|map(attribute="attributes.friendly_name")|first }}

#

#

almost there... debug 3 has everything except the person's name.

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

that's enough

#

you're just trying to access that template section, correct?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

within the ha render template? that would be ideal. I didn't think i could.

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

Is there anything relevant in Debug 1 when you expand topic?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

in debug 1 there is the variables that i'm using in the node template. it's the trigger.

#

(yes)

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

But the template doesn't exist in the flow object until after the template node...and the template is what you want, isn't it?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

I'm not sure i agree with that... basically i'm converting this automation from ha to node-red. does that help make things clear?

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

yes, that does help

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

the one caveat is that this automation is triggering based on the state of an automation, the new node-red flow is triggering based on an input_binary.

Looks like you want to get notified via Discord every time a certain window is opened or closed

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

already have that. and my thing works great for that... this is to build on that... we have a switch that allows us to silence it, and we want to know when the "dnd" is enabeld or disabled.

#

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

oh, that's easy...if I get you.

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

the ha equiv of that was UGGGLY. so... i'm loving the power of NR so far... but some little things like this seem a bit ... convoluted.

#

i think i'm over-complicating it though

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

You are....hang on

#

In HA, Settings -> Helpers -> Create Helper -> Toggle

#

Call it something like "Window Notification Enabled"

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

already got one 🙂

#

input_boolean.opened_alert_discord

#

i'm ha old-school though so i made it via yaml but...

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

Okay, now insert a current state node after your very first node

#

#

Now the state of the window can change all it want, it won't get through the newly added current state node if the toggle is set to False.

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

already have all that... i just need to know when THAT input_boolean is switched

#

i want to output to discord that it was silenced

#

buuut the only complexity is to know WHO did it

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

Oh, so if the input_boolean is toggled, notify via Discord?

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

right.

#

should be easy, but gotta pull information from a ha-render template

#

{{ states.person|selectattr("attributes.user_id", "==", "{{ data.event.new_state.context.user_id}}")|map(attribute="attributes.friendly_name")|first }}

#

so i gotta pass the data.event.new_state.context.user_id to the template to render in ha.

#

then take whatever it rendered and output that to discord.

lament pelican Aug 10, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

k, give me a few.

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

❤️

lavish cargo Aug 10, 2022, 7:18 PM

#

#

It may not be the cleanest... but i think i figured it out

#

node template ```{{ data.event.new_state.attributes.friendly_name }} has been {% if ({{ payload}}) %}Enabled{% else %}Disabled{% endif %}by {{=<% %>=}}{{ states.person|selectattr("attributes.user_id", "==", <%={{ }}=%>"{{ data.event.new_state.context.user_id}}")|map(attribute="attributes.friendly_name")|first }}

#

only thing left:

#

tripple curly brackets. all fixed. Thank you for your help CHris!
