Hello! Today I use node-red to turn on/off lights in the whole house with two different nodes. This is because I, for example, want to turn off the office desk lights at night but I don’t want to turn them on in the morning…
I do this with buttons… Sometimes I missclick “on” and the immediately press “off” and the result is I have to wait for them to turn on before they turn off…
Question:
How do I abort the node turning the lights on? I know about sending the service from a node and only executing the last message (could work?) but then I can’t have different entities (not without sending them in a msg).
Could this also maybe be done with scenes in HA instead of one node node-red?
Scenes are WAY easier to deal with than individual devices, imho. Especially when dealing with large groups of lights. The other thing you can do is create a light group (Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers > + > Group) and add your lights.
As for aborting the node, you really can’t. Once the call service has been sent off to HA, it’s kind of a done deal there.
