How to use a Aqara cube with ZHA in Node-red?

Third party integrations Node-RED

I’ve managed to work out all commands given by the cube, like Flip, Rotate_left, Rotate_right, and how to call them to set an action.

Now I don’t know if this is possible, but I want NR to remember that the activated_face + rotate L/R
to trigger other actions based on the side its on??

Is this possible, if yes, how??

Thnx

with a command like ‘flip’ I see the 'activated_face"

But when I rotate I only see the rotate, but not the activated face.
Is it possible to ‘set’ the rotated face (into a memory ) and then when rotate is triggered, based on the face up, to start a action??

I now have :

but after ‘select side’ I cannot add the needed commands, is there any idea how to solve this?

If ‘side 1’ is up, and ‘rotate left/right’ then …

I don’t have a cube and I don’t really know how it works, but as far as I understood, you could create an input select with X options, one for each face (Face A, Face B, Face C, etc)

input_select:
  aqara_cube_current_face:
    name: Aqara Face
    options:
      - "Face A"
      - "Face B"
      - "Face C"
      - "Face D"
      - "Face E"
      - "Face F"

Then create an automation that when you see the “activated_face”

then set the input_select to the given option. That input select persists its state after restarts and you’d always have the information of the current face of the cube.

Then you could use a current state node with the current state of the input as a condition whenever you rotate the cube :wink:

Sorry for rambling, I hope I made myself clear.

You could also use the entity node from NR, to create a sensor from NR to HA with the information of the current face. Then do the same as with the input, use it with a current state node as a condition whenever the cube is rotated.

thnx, lets see if I can get this working :slight_smile:

Did you get this working? Can you share your node red formula?

I don’t have the cube so I can’t actually build it… ask johannes
