Sending sensor value from HA UI to MySensors node

Configuration Frontend
1

I’m running the old hassbian HA UI (not hass.io nor lovelace) together with a few MySensors nodes. In my recent project I want to set a threshold value (0-100) in the HA UI and have it sent to the MySensors node. Is there a way of doing this directly in the UI?

I can stop HA (to have full write access to the mysensors.json file), change the value in mysensors.json file, restart the MySensors node to request the value from the gateway again. Even though this works, it feels too cumbersome if I want to adjust the threshold value as time progresses.

It looked like it was possible to set the sensor value in the Dev.Tool/States section, until I saw the note: “This will not communicate with the actual device.” :frowning:

Any ideas??

You could use the notify service to send data to a MySensors node:

I use this to change the ‘mode’ of my RGB LEDs that I built using MySensors framework.
