Get input_number event in Node-RED while dragging

[mefuzar (Shuki Cohen)]

Hi,

I have created an input_number as follows in configuration.yaml:

input_number:
  harmony_volume:
    name: Volume
    initial: 1
    min: 1
    max: 99
    step: 1

and added it to the UI:

  - title: Music
    cards:
      - type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: input_number.harmony_volume
...

It is shown great:

Now, I have a: “events: state” node in Node-RED:

Server: Home Assistant
Entity ID: input_number.harmony_volume

which indeed fired when the input_number slider is changed in the UI, but the problem is that it is fired only when I release the slider (touch up) and not while dragging.

I would like a continuous onChange event triggered to: “Node-RED”.

I guess it is possible using Home Assistant Automation (not sure how) but I wonder if there is a simpler solution based on what I have already done.

Thank you very much in advance

That functionality doesnt exist yet in HA.

The closest you could get would need a physical press and hold button. Like a momentary switch in esphome or zigbee remote.
