How to bring data from node-red to hass?

This is what I currently have: [image] I created my flow with 4 binary sensors (I will add all the others when everything is fully working). I am currently using the switch-node and the binary sensor node. The switch node will update the proper sensor based on “payload.zone_id”. But what I actually w…

thx that worked fine, the “sensor node” does only work with another plugin which is just avaliable via HACS so i just went with the API Variant from WallyR and it works fine.

thx alot
