I’m trying to make NR log the changes it made to entities to their corresponding HA logs. In Check State I’m using {{ payload }}
to pass the entity dynamically from the function node. If I’m only triggering one entity in the service call it works. If I call multiple entities in one service call I want it to get state of each entity separately. So I get each entity_id and send it as a separate message. I expect to get the state of each, but instead I get nothing.
The function node logs them individually and I can see the Check State is getting triggered as the timestamp and the state gets updated, but it doesn’t return any output using the same logic as a single entity just in a loop. Why am I not getting any output? Is there a better way of doing this?
I’ve attached my flow below.
