Construct JSON for based on input boolean

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hello:
I am trying to set up a way to have individual input_boolean entries for different rooms of my house that i can check on/off and then run a flow in NR to check which input_booleans are turned on and construct the JSON to tell my Roborock S6 where to vacuum.

I’ve set up the following:

input_boolean.spot_kitchen
input_boolean.spot_family
input_boolean.spot_foyer
etc

From Home Assistant, I can send the following to choose which rooms to vacuum (rooms set up in Mi Home App):

Service: vacuum.send_command
Entity: vacuum.spot
Data: 
  command: app_segment_clean
  entity_id: vacuum.spot
  params:
  - 16
  - 17
  - 18

The numbered list corresponds to the rooms that are selected and would be different depending on which input_booleans are activated.

I should be able to call the service in Node-Red and alter the JSON data to choose which rooms to send to the vacuum. I tested the following JSON data and it works for the specific rooms listed (16 and 17):

{
	"command": "app_segment_clean",
	"entity_id": "vacuum.spot",
	"params": [
		16,
		17
	]
}

I am trying to figure out how to modify the “params” based on which input booleans are activated. The way i am picturing it is once the flow is activated, it would check status of each input_boolean (7 total) and if activated, add that specific room number to the end of a list, then pass the entire list to the service call. Any ideas?

A join node can help. here is a mock flow. you can use your own booleans but make sure they are filtered like this in the current state node: image

@serkank Bingo! You got me far enough on the right track to figure it out. Thanks a ton! I had to change the type from “string” to “number” in the switch nodes. After joining, I called the service with the following data:

{"command":"app_segment_clean","entity_id":"vacuum.spot","params":[{{payload.data.params}}]}

And it dropped the paramters in the service call.
