I am working with some messages related to notifications. I currently have the following working just fine (with the exception of the Function nodes, which is what I need help with):

I’m sure there’s a way I can do this with a single state trigger node, but it’s taken me a bit to get here…
The “Set Topic” function nodes are meant to conditionally add a msg.topic based on some criteria:
- if the value of
msg.payload.data.event.old_state.stateis home, then setmsg.topicto input_datetime.time_left_home_${id}, where “id” ismsg.data.event.new_state.attributes.id. - if the value of
msg.payload.data.event.new_state.stateis home, then setmsg.topicto input_datetime.time_left_home_${id}, where “id” is alsomsg.data.event.new_state.attributes.id.
So, adding this msg.topic to the payload is failing, and I’m sure it’s because my syntax is bad in “input_datetime.time_left_home_${id},” or maybe some assignment thereof. Can anyone provide me with a solution?
TIA!
