Hello, please forgive me if this question has been asked and already answered. I have a node-red node that announces each time a door is open. Works great for the most part. I have go control for my garage opener and sometime randomly announces that the garage door is open when it is not. Is there a way I can disable the routine, for example in the middle of the night where I can say “Alexa disable open door announcement” and that stops the routine until I say “Alexa enable door announcement” I know I should just figure out why it falsely announces but I can see this feature useful for other node red automations that I may temporarily want to disable / enable without logging into node red.
You make a boolean helper in HA and make alexa actions to set that helper, then you just check that helper in your garage door script.
Thank you for your reply… Do you have an example that I can work from? This is all foreign to me.
you just go to the settings in HA and find the helpers section and add a boolean helper. I think it might be called a toggle now.
Then somewhere in your Node-Red where you want to stop the flow you add a current state node and set the if state to one of the states that the helper can have.
You now have to exits from the node. one for when the toggle is enabled and one for when it is disabled.
You can now add the toggle to a card and/or add an alexa command to it.
