I need to pass data retrieved from the Node-RED mysql node to some entity in HA. My current solution is to use the Call Service node and input_text helper.
The purpose of that input_text
HA entity is only displaying the information in Lovelace. What I do not like is that it creates an editable field (and I realize that this is exactly the purpose of the input_text helper
).
Is there any other way to create some entity to accept data from Node-RED?
Did you try the entity node, and make a sensor in HA?
Perfect! If you meant HACS Node-RED Companion, then, yes, I have just tried it with the entity node and it works.
Thank you so much.
