I am trying to get the entity_id using the mustache templates:
https://zachowj.github.io/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/guide/mustache-templates.html

Below is the complete msg object. I used {{data.entity_id}}, but it seems not working. what should be the correct syntax?

Thanks.

Can you please show the full code?

Here is full code in node-red and screenshot. If I just hardcode the entity_id, it worked fine. but I’d like to get the entity_id by using Mustache templates.

use this:

or you can also use {{data.entity_id}}

Thanks for your response.

I’ve tried both {{data.entity_id}} (which was what I used in my previous post) and {{topic}}, neither works. When I put the actual entity_id, it works fine.

Not sure where broke…

You can check with a debug node (set to show the complete message object) which message will actually show you the entity id. Try that first :slight_smile: Then simply copy the path and set it in brackets. Works fine for me. If that still doesn’t work, maybe the error is of a different kind.

Yes, I used debug node complete message to find the msg, which is in the first post.

Hi Henry - had the same issue with the “wait until” node. I think there must be something wrong with that specific node, because if you use it for a call service node, the template works fine. Let me know if you had any luck

No it doesn’t work for me.

Have a look at Wait until strange behaviour
If you put the template in a change node before the wait until you might be more successful.
