Convert automation to node red flow

Third party integrations Node-RED

I have the following automation, it’s my last on. How can I get this into node red:

- alias: Set next run time

I have tried to use the service set_input_date but I get API invalid.

Help appreciated.

Can you post here your flow. The api error might be from override input or just bad syntax.

3

The set_input_date is working for me after I made sure the format in HA was correctly shown as well. As @subzero79 mentioned , please share your flow so we can check why set_input_date is failing.

A side note:
I migrated all my automation from HA to NR but I never did a 1:1 convert as there were too many limitations and workarounds in HA. I always designed my new flow based on the NR capabilities which simplified most of my HA-automations and even improved several features.

4

I don’t have access to NR at this, time will see if I still have the flow or removed it out of frustration.

@xx_Nexus_xx I might try to go with you side note when I’m home.

What I have so far.

The Check time function isn’t working as it should.

All the middle nodes could have been done in a single function node but I tried to keep it true to what you originally had.

Thanks @Kermit!

How do you mean all the middle nodes can be in one? I have tried it previously but it went from 27/02/2019 -> 01/03/2019 when I added one day.
