Hi there, I am new to HA and Node-RED and need some help getting a flow that will send me a notification to a Telegram Bot (which I already have set up both on the Telegram side and HA side) but I do not have an idea in how to set up the flow properly. Can I get some help on this?
that works perfectly … what component can I use in front of this state node to simulate the on/off of the entity while I am designing my flow?
The state node does not take an input. You can toggle the entity (on/off) using home assistant

For some reason I am unable to get this working properly, need some more eyes on top of it maybe I am missing something …
The above flow has two errors:
- The debug named
Output Textdoes not output anything, no ideas why - Even if the message says it was “success” I don’t get it on Telegram.
This is the WF JSON (I have removed sensitive information):

What I am missing here?
I don’t use Telegram so I can’t help debug your code.
