Hue Switch to Node Red

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi I am looking at the new Hue switch integrations and how these can be incorporated into my NodeRed flows.

Creating an integration from the UI gives me:

- id: '1587301575266'
  alias: Living Room Lights off
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - device_id: 37773551a2534e0ebaf49b7d488a9252
    domain: hue
    platform: device
    subtype: turn_off
    type: remote_button_short_release
  condition: []
  action:
  - data: {}
    entity_id: switch.living_room_smart_plug_switch
    service: switch.turn_off

I dont see how I can translate this to node red?

Install Hue-Magic (node-red-contrib-huemagic)

hue-dimmer

Node red example:

Thats worked perfectly. I have integrated the hue switch into my lighting state machine flows.

I realised the button name is returned, so you can update the first switch to “== On, == Off… etc.” instead of using regex as I did.
