Quarantine devices

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to detect devices that are misbehaving and have some automations not respond to them (mainly for motion sensors that misbehave when the battery is low). All my automations use the device name (so sensor.living_room turns on light.living_room etc). I have a few thoughts as to how this might be achieved, but Id be open to new and better ideas. As a start, does anyone know any way to do any of the following via Node Red:

  • Add devices to a group (I could then check if a device is a member of that group before triggering)
  • Rename devices (sensor.quarantine would no longer trigger light.living_room)… etc.
  • Disable devices

Thanks,

Dan

Node Red has no concept of groups. Handle your groups in HA

You would rename devices in HA, not Node Red

I don’t know of a service that disables devices. You can disable automations, flows, and messages, but not disable a device.
