I have a motion flow in node-red. I’m trying to get back to the originating entity in a group of 5 motion detectors.
I can see the entities, but I feel like the payload of which one started it is getting dropped somewhere.
I should add, in the end I will have more than 5 (otherwise I’d just put 5 and skip the group). I hope to have about 25 different calling entities that share the flow between motion sensors/door sensors/camera triggers/etc. I was hoping to group them into logical containers to simplify the flows. Thanks.
Also…
I’m passing the motion trigger into a function to (what I’d hoped was the friendly name).
var state = msg.payload
node.status({text: friendlyName});
return {
"payload": {
"data": {
"message": "Motion on " + friendlyName
}
}
};```
