Hi all,
I’m trying to create a ‘clean’ process for configuring my lights.
To do this, i’m using NodeRed and would like to prepare all the ‘data’ (brightness, color, transition, etc) in a separate node and then send it to several ‘call service’ nodes to be able to easily apply the same dataset to several lights in a flexible way.
What I’ve tried is to use a ‘template’ node to compose the data and send it to ‘msg.payload.data’, but I didn’t yet succeed. Anyone who can help me to get this working?
A copy of the setup can be found below:
