I know I can send the event data down flow and filter it or I can even store it as a global variable and recall it, but is there a way use current state_changed info as an If State conditional within an Events: State node to only allow it so it only fires under certain conditions (I do not want to use a trigger node because I need the old_state info from the event down flow)
I figured if it didn’t trigger in the first place, it would use less resources (maybe my assumption is wrong since either way the system needs to run the calculation); if anything it would be 1 less node down flow.
You seem to be quite knowledgeable in HA Node red; while browsing these forums I’ve noticed you answer a good amount of questions. I have another one I can’t seem to find an answer to if you would be so kind: can you use a template list in a Events: State node for a dynamic entities list?
Such as some thing like?
Thanks. I was actually more interested in using the template within the event_state node’s entity field; that particular label list was just an example of something I’d like to do. I’m guessing it not possible without other nodes?
