HA/Node Red Consulting?

Are there any individuals on this site (or other resources) that would be willing to build an automation in NodeRed for me for the right price?

I’ve tried a number of times to build what I’m looking for and I’m at a loss. Plus I really just want it done, so I figure I’d rather just pay someone if at all possible.

TIA!

I’m not a node-red expert - still learning it myself. But tell us what you are trying to do and we may be able to point you in the right direction (learning is half the fun) or we may be able to give you some examples.

I had posted this a while back, but this is what I’m trying to do.

You have a lot going on… There is potential to simplify some of the flows (like using the trigger state node instead of polling and checking various states); but first, a few questions:

  1. What parts of the flows are working / not working (light checks/control, humidity check/control, etc.)
  2. What have you done to debug this?

The existing flows that are completed work, so no issue there.

I’m monitoring and controlling VPD by controlling humidity. All I want is a simple flow to trigger a notification when VPD is above or below the setpoint for longer than “x” amount of time.

The problem I run into is the actual VPD is constantly oscillating above or below the target, and I’m not sure how to check the state for continuously being above or below.

Would the smooth node help?

I don’t believe so. I think a “Do Until” function would get me what I need, but I’m not sure Node-Red has a node with this functionality.

If you replace your VPD Notification polling node with an events: state node and check to see if sensor.t1vpdc is < $entities(“input_number.tent_1_vpd_target”).state for n minutes, will that work?

Testing it right now, but that might be the ticket. I’ll keep it running for now and see if I get any strange results.

This is the reason I ask for help lol, I get too bogged down in a project to see the easy solution staring me in the face.
