Node red and problem

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi,

I have node red installed and I want to set up like this.

If ac is turned on and My phone is not_home and wife phone is not_home then send notificatio.
I have set this in node red with bolean AND logic. But problem is that it work like OR sentence. So i got notification also if both is home and I just turn on AC.

I don’t use Node Red, but I’m pretty sure the boolean logic nodes only evaluate true/false payloads. strings and numbers are attempted to be converted to a boolean. The string “not_home” would convert to false. But so would “home”. And so would “on”. You’re going to need to convert the payloads to true/false before sending to the BooleanLogic node.

As I know this statues output true and false. Upper is True and down is False.

You should set two flows:
For turning on the ac: The state change node only for the AC, then current status node for the presence. Use switch nodes to check the states.

For the notification, the ac needs to be a current state node, because what triggers the notification is the presence detection.
Try using both presence nodes, then the and, then the ac state.

For turning off automatically:
Sorry, i don’t remember right now, but The Hook Up has a video on node red where he explains it. (with another use case, but the same presence principle)

I think that set up is correct. Please look at more detialed settings.

Attach a “debug” node to any of your trigger-state nodes and look at the payload they send. If the payload is anything other than a boolean “true” or “false” it probably doesn’t do what you want.

Try it with a different AND/OR Gate logic node?

I try and now I found problem. I do not get output true or false.
But i got input off or cool.
How can I transform off, fan or cool to true or false?

Try a function node with if statement

So

if (msg.payload == "off") {
  msg.payload = false;
} else {
  msg.payload = true;
}
return msg;

Just stumbled across this! Cut my nodes down by about 30!
