Hi all,
I want to create a sensor in Node-Red, create an array of values in a function node and pass this array to the attributes part of the sensor. The node is giving me an error “node red home assistant sensor … must be one of [string, number, boolean, object]”. Although I know there are sensors in my home assistant that have arrays in their attributes.
I was wondering if it is any way possible to pass an array through to a sensor in Home-Assistant via Node-Red.
Thanks!
Can you show us what you have so far?
I created 2 helpers for my purpose, and update both of them:
