Hi,
I just started creating an alarm automation:
(this is just a start, very basic right now)
When the email is sent, it uses the name of the originating sensor node as a topic, however msg.payload is armed_away (as it leaves the “Alarmcheck” node). I would like to have the state of the triggering node in the payload instead, is that possible? How?
I found a way to accomplish what I want by using two outputs at the state node and routing them through different ways, where I change the payload to open or closed for the email text.
However I’m still interested in learning if I can access the payload from the trigger node after it passed the state check…
here how I did it, maybe can give you some ideas
