Can anybody tell me how to convert this automation to node red flow
- id: washer_notification
initial_state: true
alias: Washer Notification
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.washer_status
from: running
to: complete
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 5
seconds: 0
action:
- service: script.notify_all
data:
message: ' The washing machine has completed its cycle'
One way would be to use an “events: state” node to trigger the flow when the entity state is “complete” for 5 minutes. Then tick all of the checkboxes at the bottom to ignore unavailable etc. And if you want to ignore other states that can transition to complete (eg. maybe idle->complete is possible and should be ignored), just include a “switch” node that checks “msg.data.old_state.state” is “running”.
Thanks Michael I have the events state working but I am having a bit of trouble working out how to get the switch node to check the state.old. I will persevere
