Is there an easier way to do this, specifically combine the 2 template nodes + current state node into a getTemplate node? I’m struggling with being able to pass the {{slot.appliance}} and get its state and friendly name in the same template.
This works, but seems like jumping through a few hoops to get the message out
What the sub-flow does:
- Use rhasspy to ask a question about appliance status, using slots in rhasspy
- Depending on the slot picked, send appliance entity to HA
- First template node sets appliance entity id
- Current state gets state of the appliance
- Second template node writes a message, including friendly name of appliance
- End result is then an output back to the speaker to tell me status about appliance (didn’t include the telegram/alexa piece here)
