How to loop through list of entities in a current state in node red?

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I have a flow (below) that read the status of a number of entities (temperature and energy data, repeats every 5 minutes if heating is on, and then appends the data to a CSV file for later analysis. This works well.

But I’m repeating a lot of the same stuff with the risk of making errors and it makes expanding the measurements cumbersome. I would like to have list so I only use one current state node which loops through the list and returns the state as msg.entity_name. This could be passed on to other nodes and reused eg. when formatting data and setting column names in csv.

Is there a way to make a list of the entities and then loop through them in a current state node?

I have a flow that does something like that, but ai am not at my computer before Sunday, but I will post it then.

If you want to get all those states and build a message a function node will give you the most flexibility. Depending on your install type the path to the entities may differ from mine.

Thanks. It works for getting the entity values and pass them on as msg.payload. A step in the right direction.
I can’t figure out how to set the topic to the variable from the list.

Instead of temperature, I would like it to be the name of entity using the list ie. “temperature” to be “sensor.hottub_heatpump_water_in_temp”.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing the flow.

There was a lot that could be removed from that sequence.
Not sure why you have both a loop and a inject on interval. That would mean it could write multiple lines that is duplicated.
I suggest just a poll state node and no loop.

It is just a flow that pick an item from the list in the node called “set ping list” and then pings it 4 times and post the results to a sensor with a name made from the name in the value in the list.
Then it takes the next value in the list and does the same.

You might not want a whole bunch of sensors, but you can easily see how I add attribute values to my sensors and then change it to your liking.

Thank you so much!!

@Hellis81 Very nice and clean solution - so many nodes reduced to just four. And Its a direct working replacement of what I had, thanks. This was what I was hoping for when making my clumsy solution.

@WallyR Thanks for sharing you flow - learning a lot from comparing.

Best wishes,
Kasper
