Ive copied the examples from the ESPHome docs to determine whether my Node is connected to HA or not, and I use a LED to determine whether its connected or not, but if I go look at the log of the node and then disconnect, the LED goes out - even tho HA is still connected.
I sort of understand that the OTA log through the ESPHome dashboard is done thru the API and that when it disconnects it executes on_client_disconnected.
At the moment, the LED is green, but I just dont understand why the LED turns off when I dont have a specific - light.turn_off statement. Why doesnt it STAY green (cos its still connected to HA) or even turn red on the disconnection of the OTA log
All I want to do is detect if HA is connected - green if its connected to HA, red if its not. Whether or not the ESPHome log connects thru the API or not is inconsequential and I dont want to impact the LED state connection status of the node to HA
What would I be doign wrong???
api:
on_client_connected:
- if:
condition:
lambda: 'return (0 == client_info.find("Home Assistant"));'
then:
- light.turn_on:
id: api_online
brightness: 20%
red: 0%
green: 10%
blue: 0%
on_client_disconnected:
- if:
condition:
lambda: 'return (0 == client_info.find("Home Assistant"));'
then:
- light.turn_on:
id: api_online
brightness: 20%
red: 10%
green: 0%
blue: 0%
