Rebooting/Shutdown the Raspberry PI from Node-Red

Third party integrations Node-RED

Any suggestions on how it can be done ?

In node-red you install the bigssh node. You create the configuration node (user/passwd or certificate). If you want to reboot the Pi where NR is running you can use 127.0.0.1 for the @IP. And then through this ssh node you call “shutdown -r now”. If you can’t ssh to root directly you may have to use sudo or something like that.
You Pi will reboot…

You could probably use this flow or the node below.

systemctl reboot

But never noticed the Node rpi-shutdown. Nice

Unfortunately none of them work on my hassio.

The flow linked to, generates error 127 and the two nodes in node-red-contrib-rpi-shutdown accepts input, but does absolutely nothing.

Can’t you simply call the service hassio.host_reboot or hassio.host_shutdown ?

New territory for me. Work perfectly.

Thanks.

These nodes only work for me if I start node-red from my user account,not when it starts from boot as a service.I believe this is a pemrissions issue. SO how do I give node-red the right permissions?

Which, the pi nodes? Are you looking to restart/stop home assistant, if so use a call service node.
