Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi,

I use Node-RED Companion. I have created webhook and exposed sensor temperature entity to HA. Now I want to update the value of the exposed sensor temperature entity from Node-RED. I use “call service” node where I set domain as “input_number”, service “set_value” and entity is my Node-RED sensor temperature entity. When I check debug logs I see that value was properly updated with value I wanted. However entity remains empty from HomeAssistant perspective.

Updated value from Node-RED perspective with “25.9” temperature value:

Not updated value from HomeAssistant perspective:

Do you know where might be a problem? Thanks for your help!

Your using a sensor and trying to update it with a input number, they are 2 different things. To update the value of the sensor send the value into the sensor node. You need to have the value in the path you set inside the sensor configuration.
