I am trying to make an automation where my EVSE (car charger) displays on my Homeseer wd200 status lights.
I want one to change color with temperature, and another to change with the status.
I have the status change working, but when I copy my Function node, changing from looking for a string to comparing values (if payload >= # ) I get a completely different type of output from the function node.
In the working operation I get this message:
{"topic":"sensor.status_of_evse","payload":{"data":{"node_id":15,"parameter":21,"value":"Blue"}},"data":{"entity_id":"sensor.status_of_evse","old_state":{"entity_id":"sensor.status_of_evse","state":"charging","attributes":{"friendly_name":"Status of EVSE"},"last_changed":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.819859+00:00","last_updated":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.819859+00:00","context":{"id":"17cfb3db5bb847ec84cbcdddd75bf9f1","parent_id":null,"user_id":null}},"new_state":{"entity_id":"sensor.status_of_evse","state":"charging","attributes":{"friendly_name":"Status of EVSE"},"last_changed":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.819859+00:00","last_updated":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.819859+00:00","context":{"id":"17cfb3db5bb847ec84cbcdddd75bf9f1","parent_id":null,"user_id":null},"timeSinceChangedMs":9322}},"_msgid":"6cd2b8ae.04e5f8"}
BUT from the other I get this message:
{"topic":"sensor.temperature_of_evse","payload":"32.5","data":{"entity_id":"sensor.temperature_of_evse","old_state":{"entity_id":"sensor.temperature_of_evse","state":"32.5","attributes":{"unit_of_measurement":"C","friendly_name":"temperature of EVSE"},"last_changed":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.814171+00:00","last_updated":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.814171+00:00","context":{"id":"aecd031c7a484f53b295d1341d7bce7e","parent_id":null,"user_id":null}},"new_state":{"entity_id":"sensor.temperature_of_evse","state":"32.5","attributes":{"unit_of_measurement":"C","friendly_name":"temperature of EVSE"},"last_changed":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.814171+00:00","last_updated":"2020-02-01T01:00:24.814171+00:00","context":{"id":"aecd031c7a484f53b295d1341d7bce7e","parent_id":null,"user_id":null},"timeSinceChangedMs":9341}},"_msgid":"ba461a2d.1054a8"}
If you didn’t see it, in the second, I’m expecting to get a
{"topic":"sensor.temperature_of_evse","payload".{data:{"node_id":15,"parameter":21,"value":"Blue"}}
And that is not in the message. I am very very N00B at nodeRed and more comfortable with C++, so I’m at a loss here as to what I’ve missed or haven’t done.
Help would be greatly appreciated, if you see what i’ve missed, or have an explanation I would love to hear it.
Here is an export of the entire flow
