Call Service Node

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hello,

I’ve just read the latest release announcement: Goodbye Service Calls

The announcement is clear that call-service functionality is not going away (at least for now!). But I’m wondering what plans there are for the call-service node in the NR palette, and whether a new “Action” node will be added in the future? Does anyone here know?

Like most of you, my NR automations make extensive use of call-service. :grinning:

Service calls are still there it will just be called an action instead of a service. You won’t need to change your automations, this is a superficial change.

To make things clearer, we are now changing the terminology around service calls in Home Assistant from “services” to “actions” everywhere.

I have the newest set of nodes that reflect the change from service to action. I spoke too soon as there is a change required but only if you dynamically set call service nodes.

Otherwise all other nodes have been updated to the new action section without input.

    "domain": "light",
    "service": "turn_on",
    "target": {
        "entity_id": ...
}

New

{
    "action": "light.turn_on",
    "target": {
        "entity_id": ...
}
