Node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket

b4ker · September 22, 2020, 12:10am

Unfortunately due to the 115 update, I had to setup a complete new ha instance.
But anyway, currently everything is running quite nice, except Node-red websocket which is quite critical for me.

My HA system + proxmox

arch	x86_64
chassis	vm
dev	false
docker	true
docker_version	19.03.11
hassio	true
host_os	HassOS 4.13
installation_type	Home Assistant OS
os_name	Linux
os_version	5.4.63
python_version	3.8.5
supervisor	245
timezone	Europe/Berlin
version	0.115.2
virtualenv	false

NodeRed addon: Current version: 7.2.0
HACS Node Red: v0.4.4

I followed the instucktions:

Installed Node Red in HACS
Restarted HA
Opend Integrations,
but Node-RED is not listed. Whatever I do, tried all avaliable versions but always same result. In my old HA 114 its working perfect. Just have no idea what to try. Btw. can’t find any error in logs regarding Node red…

Any advise is much appreciated.
Thanks

Edit:

after few hours suddenly it just worked, I’ve just tried everything in different order, so I can’t tell what exactly fixed my issue, but anyway thanks

Holy crap @Kermit… You’ve outdone yourself on this one! LOVE the new options in the event nodes.

b3nj1 · October 7, 2020, 3:39am

The hassio add-on picked up 0.27.0, and a lot of my flows use the msg.data.new_state.attributes which was fixed in 0.27.1. When I try to use the latest package by configuring hassio with npm_packages overrides (below), the log shows that it installs 0.27.1 OK, but with lots “does not exist” errors. Then, unsurprisingly, node-red says the nodes are missing.

Anyone else seeing this and have a fix?

Thanks!

Node-Red error:

Kermit · October 7, 2020, 6:01am

npm_packages:
  - node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket@latest

peterclark · October 8, 2020, 4:19am

I created a bunch of sensors in Home Assistant via this wonderful integration.

Am I correct in thinking that sensors created via Node Red that then appear in Home Assistant … should then appear back within Node Red to be leveraged within flows?

I have a Node Red flow that takes JSON data and turns it into a sensor with an output.

That sensor then correctly appears in HA.

But for some reason that sensor is not appearing in Node Red when i try to create a ‘current state’ node. All my other hundreds of sensors and other entities obviously appear, but none of the ones I created via Node Red.

Not sure if it takes more time for the autocompleted to work (it’s been 30 min or so) or what.

Thanks!

hrdejong · October 8, 2020, 10:11am

Is there any fix to “Sensor update attempted without connection to server.” besides disabling custom integrations in HA? Disabling custom integrations is making HA kind of obsolete, if HA is empty there is no use for running HA… Below is the underlying problem as far as I understand.

20-10-08 10:11:34 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] WebSocket access from a0d7b954_nodered
20-10-08 10:11:34 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API request running
20-10-08 10:11:35 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API error: Received message 258:WebSocketError(<WSCloseCode.MESSAGE_TOO_BIG: 1009>, ‘Message size 4747108 exceeds limit 4194304’) is not str
20-10-08 10:11:35 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API connection is closed

Node-RED integration pulls all the HA information in one API request that in turn ends up in a too large request.

Kermit · October 8, 2020, 11:02am

When adding entities from any source it should be close to instant for them showing in up in NR. If this doesn’t happen for you there is probably a caching issue of the autocomplete results in your browser.

Kermit · October 8, 2020, 11:30am

@hrdejong
As far as my knowledge goes there is currently no way to change how this package queries the entities from HA. What custom integration as you using that store’s so much information in the entity list?

You could try bypassing the hass.io proxy and connecting directly to HA but that might not work either as it’s the aiohttp python library that is setting the hard limit on message size.

hrdejong · October 8, 2020, 12:07pm

Got about 150 - 200 entities in HA, where possible disabled.

Integrations are:

Atag
Google Cast
HACS
Internet Printing
MQTT
Weather
Node-RED
Pi-hole
SolarEdge
Samsung smart TV
Sonos
Synology
Unifi

Kermit · October 8, 2020, 3:17pm

There is not much I can help you with here. You’re going to have to look through your entities and find which ones have a crazy amount of data in the state or attribute fields.

hrdejong · October 8, 2020, 3:28pm

Do you know where I can find the raw data like that from entities?

Update: remembered what integration does a lot of data… the unifi integration pulls all alert info when you enable the “alerts” entity (configuration.yaml). disabled this one and Node-RED is spitting out info again to HA.

Gnork · October 14, 2020, 5:25pm

Hello! How I can transfer the entity_id to the api-call-service through the msg.payload?

Kermit · October 14, 2020, 7:03pm

msg.payload.data.entity_id

Gnork · October 14, 2020, 9:12pm

Thanks. If I write
msg.payload.data.entity_id = input_boolean.input_boolean_1
in the inject-node then everything works.
What should I write in function-node? This:

msg.payload.data.entity_id = "input_boolean.input_boolean_1";
return msg;

doesn’t work.

code-in-progress · October 14, 2020, 9:18pm

In a function node, you’d have to do it like this:

msg.payload = {
    data: {
        entity_id: 'input_boolean.input_boolean_1'
    }
}

Bruskey27 · October 17, 2020, 2:26am

Ive noticed now there appears to be a new “zone” node that can be used. Has anyone got this working? I cannot seem to get it trigger. All i am doing is putting a single person entity, a single zone, but it never triggers when that entity enters or leave the zone. The output on the flow just shows the entity_id of the person, but nothing passes through to the next node? I would expect that when the entity enters or leave the zone the output would be the zone name. Am i assuming correctly or is there some other config required for this to work?

Hi,
maybe some can help me here. I’ve got a problem with calling a service…it worked before but after updating nodered and the modules, it doenst any more.
