Appliance Flow Feedback

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

So I’ve just started down the node-red path and some of the things I’m slowly transferring over are my appliance automation’s. Looking to get some feedback on smarter ways than what I have currently done up and any errors or issues I can’t see. Hopefully this also helps other users looking to replicate the same flow. Will add the washing machine at a later stage.

Looks good, nothing really jumps out at first glance as a problem. One thing I would recommend is changing the event-state node from substring to exact this will save a little on the cpu cycles. Also if you wanted to you could remove the On/Off switch and use the halt if logic in the event-state node.

Also hadn’t planned on adding custom output for the event-state nodes but I guess you have a use case for it.

Thanks for the feedback @Kermit. I’ve just updated the original post with the changes you recommended plus a few other bits to stop issues with constantly calling the service when true. I’ve also added the washing machine flow if you get a chance to also have a quick look over.

Both look good and if they function correctly no need to really change them. One thing I did notice was the and gate node doesn’t need inputs to have the payloads in the different locations because they track the value from the topic of the message. This allows you to remove the change nodes which also opens up the possibility to use a trigger-state node in place of a couple of the event-state nodes to move the current-state nodes logic into the trigger-state node. Wow, did that make sense?

In the and gate nodes you are already checking the status of sensor.wemo_dishwasher_status so you might be able to use that logic in there and not have to have the State? nodes after them. I didn’t remove them in my examples below but it should be possible.

None of this is tested but should give you some ideas on what I was trying to do.

If you want more of an explanation on any of it let me know.

@Kermit If possible could you explain this to me? I do not have a programming background and I am unsure what the difference between Exact vs Substring is. I can assume Exact is what it sounds like, Exact.

6

The substring method determines whether a string contains the characters of a specified string.

Say you had several input_booleans

  • input_boolean.test1
  • input_boolean.test2

and you used test or input_boolean.test as your entity_id and selected substring it would return both of the input_booleans above because each one contains test and input_boolean.test within itself.

@gbboy how has this been working for you. I’m just switched from webcore in SmartThings to HA, and am looking to configure appliance automations in node red. What are the latest versions of your configs?

Thanks

Hi @tommyk203 , I ended up leaving my dishwasher automation with the built in yaml as it was simplier to do what I required.

As for the laundry I’ve attached my json for the node automation however I’ve since acquired a washing machine which has a built in API for GE which I can rely on. Hope this helps you :slight_smile:
