I am a newbie to HA and Node-RED. I am trying to create a conditional sequence based on results returned from current_state whether the hvac_action = heating and current_humidity > 25 . I just haven’t been able to find how to get returned an array and lookup those elements. I am hoping to do this within Node-RED and not need java script to do it?
DenD,
Hello, Will you please post your Node-Red flow so I can get a better idea of what you are working with?
Here is a flow that I am using to control climate in a garden automation. It sounds like this may be useful based on your question. Please post your code, I would be more than happy to try to assist you with your flow.
