Node red , big timer and HA UI integration -

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi, 1st post here.

i have built a flow in node red and big timer, using tasmota devices, but now would like to integrate it into the HA UI . HA currently by discovery only sees it as a switch , on & off, but what i would like is to have a 3 position switch, that can alter the switch from the HA UI ‘on’ , ‘off’ , ‘auto’ how can i achieve this, im not adept at programming - although found node red intuitive

You could try and input select inside Home Assistant with the options on/off/auto then in Node-Red use a trigger node to send the correct outputs based on the value of the input select to the big timer.

many thanks - think thats done it - i modified the input select example in the HA docs for a thermostat

# Define input_select
input_select:
  loungelamp:
    name: Lounge Lamp
    options:
      - "off"
      - "on"
      - "auto"
    icon: mdi:target

  1. how do i rename the input select card to something more user friendly and can i have two cards set up both using input select

card 1 - outdoor lights
card 2 - indoor lights

I am assuming you’re not using the lovelace ui.

You’re going to want to use the group component.
