Heya – new to Node Red, so this is almost certainly my fault somehow, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here.
I’ve got some simple flows I’m testing – simple 3 node stuff like:
Inject → home assistant call service → debug
Where the call service is attempting stuff like changing a value from Yes to No for a particular select entity:
[
{
"id": "fee4174863f0e850",
"type": "api-call-service",
"z": "6753a1c749ecd551",
"name": "Grid Charging",
"server": "bb4a92ae30b6a0a1",
"version": 5,
"debugenabled": false,
"domain": "select",
"service": "select_option",
"areaId": [],
"deviceId": [
"e7b76450da3e9fcb73020a2f2fff2680"
],
"entityId": [
"select.home_energy_gateway_grid_charging"
],
"data": "{\"option\":\"Yes\"}",
"dataType": "jsonata",
"mergeContext": "",
"mustacheAltTags": false,
"outputProperties": [],
"queue": "none",
"x": 640,
"y": 340,
"wires": [
[

]
]
},
{
"id": "bb4a92ae30b6a0a1",
"type": "server",
"name": "Home Assistant",
"version": 5,
"addon": false,
"rejectUnauthorizedCerts": true,
"ha_boolean": "y|yes|true|on|home|open",
"connectionDelay": true,

"heartbeat": false,
"heartbeatInterval": "30",
"areaSelector": "friendlyName",
"deviceSelector": "friendlyName",
"entitySelector": "friendlyName",

"statusYear": "hidden",
"statusMonth": "short",
"statusDay": "numeric",
"statusHourCycle": "default",
"statusTimeFormat": "h:m",
"enableGlobalContextStore": false
}
]
The setting is changed properly, however Node Red is returning an api error, and I’m seeing this in node-red’s logs:
20 Nov 00:40:25 - [error] [api-call-service:No Grid Charging] Call-service error. Option No not valid for Energy exports
and this in HA’s logs:
2022-11-20 00:40:25.986 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.websocket_api.http.connection] [139970509402608] Option No not valid for Energy exports

If I trigger the same flow a few times in a row, I’ll oddly get different errors … for instance this is from another flow:
20 Nov 00:24:54 - [error] [api-call-service:Time-Based Control] Call-service error. Option autonomous not valid for Operation mode
20 Nov 00:24:58 - [error] [api-call-service:Time-Based Control] Call-service error. Option autonomous not valid for Energy exports
20 Nov 00:25:01 - [error] [api-call-service:Time-Based Control] Call-service error. Option autonomous not valid for Grid charging
20 Nov 00:25:06 - [error] [api-call-service:Time-Based Control] Call-service error. Option autonomous not valid for Grid charging
If I attempt to make similar changes from HA → Developer Tools → Services, everything works fine with no logged errors.
Any idea what’s going on? It almost looks like an off-by-one index problem since “Operation mode” and “Energy exports” are similar selects for that device, but the errors aren’t identical as one would expect… and since it still manages to execute correctly too, it’s almost like something is looping through all of the selects for the device? But then I don’t see errors for all of the other selects, just a single random one for each execution.
Cranking up the logs to debug on both Node Red and Home Assistant (websocket.api only) doesn’t reveal anything more:
