Node-Red AddOn + Webhook?

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I’m attempting to use the webhook node in NodeRed but am not able to trigger it.

Edit: Here are the steps that actually got things working:

  1. Installed the Node-Red Add on from the HA Community Store
  2. Installed the custom NodeRed component from HACS
  3. Installed the nodered integration
  4. Created a webhook node in NR and connected it to a debug node. Deployed the flow.
  5. Went to Config>Cloud to enable the webhook for a public URL
  6. Run a curl POST command to the url

I’m seeing the automation get triggered, but the NR flow does not get triggered.

Any thoughts on how to debug this further?

Is this still showing at the top of the node editor when you edit the webhook node?

If so, you need to install the custom component. https://github.com/zachowj/hass-node-red

I’m not seeing that message. I’m also able to access my home assistant entities in other nodes like the current state node.

Edit: Sorry I was mistaken. I am seeing that message, so am installing it now and going to test things out again. Thanks!

Some progress but not working it. After installing the Node-RED custom integration I am now showing the node is registered:

The automation continues to trigger but still no luck in triggering the node. Any other pointers to consider?

Ok it’s working now. I’m not entirely sure why, but it’s possible the sequence mattered. My first time I did things out of order for the setup, but I reinstalled the custom component, the integration, and then started a brand new flow. And now it’s working.

I’ve updated the set of steps in the right order at the top message for anyone else that runs into this issue.

Are you saying here that you’re creating an automation in Home Assistant? If so, there is no need to do this.

Yup you’re right again. I’ll edit the steps.
