Event node not updating from sensor entity

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi,

I have entity created inside node-red that, it seems that this sensor gets correct updates whenever original value changes - this created sensor updates well - can be seen on the node itself.

But when this value is to be read, hmm, automatically, using events: state node - this doesn’t seem to update (as per little text that is displayed by the node).

Is this an ongoing issue or is it me having this particular bug?

correct reading:

whereas events: state displays this:

and this seems to be causing automations not to fire because of set value.

any tips on this one?

thank you

Probably you have these little tick boxes in the state node: image
Check if you can get the desired behaviour by ticking or unticking the appropriate one.

i have deselected all options, left Output on connect only - value has changed several times (sensor) but event node does not react at all.

looks like a bug to me.

but! when i change original sensor value with developer tools - event value changes. when value changes automatically (sensor) - no reaction :confused:

the above shows current state as it is - event node doesn’t change at all :frowning:
