I have a global variable that takes the humidity from the downstairs thermostat and adds 10 to it. I would like to be able to view this value in one of my view “pages” in HA. But I would need it to be an entity.
Is this possible? (and yes I know i could just view the thermostat humidity entity and +10 in my head, lol)
You can just use a Template Sensor along the lines of:
{{ states("myothersensor") | float(0) + 10 }}
And if you want it from NR, then look at the sensor node. It creates a sensor in HA for you and you provide the data from your flow
I’d like to keep in NR if possible. Can you show me how I would provide the data from my flow to the sensor node. I started to config the sensor node but dont even know if what I put in so far is right.

Will you use Global elsewhere?
If not, you don’t need to define Global.
If you need, you can set it directly in the Current state.
Edit: I made a new global and now its working. Its almost as if something else in node red keeps writing to that original global without doing to +10 math
@walberjunior I can not get the sensor to show the value of the global. It keeps showing 55, which is the value of my downstairs thermostat (t6 humidity). But the global is that value (55) + 10. So the sensor should be 65.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.

But why are you using global? Why not just use the payload?
The payload of what? The t6 humidity sensor? But that would be 55. I want it to be 65. (55+10)
Flow and global only make sense if you need the information in another “block” of nodes or if you are going to use another flow (tab)

You will need to edit the entities if you want to use this flow
Ok, I am picking up what your throwing down! I am only using the current global in one place, so maybe it is overkill.
Thats from importing other peoples flows. Just havent deleted it, lol
Wait! Now I remember why I had to create a global. Because I cant directly compared two sensors in a state node.
So I cant compare sensor.bathroom_humidity to sensor.humidity_global. I could only compare it to global.humidity_global
If you linked the nodes, select msg and write payload in the Box
You are a very wise man. Thanks!
Is that what you’re trying to do?
