EDIT: Problem solved! I improved my search terms and found this post by @Kermit: Prevent encoding of URL passed to Call Service node
Hello,
I keep reading that Node-Red is so much better for automations than YAML and I am trying to make the switch. While a lot has been relatively easy to convert without too much of a problem, getting a notification sent to my phone has been rather frustrating.
For context, I’m using joaoapps_join/send_tasker to push some state changes to my phone and then I use AutoNotification to populate the notification. My command from Home Assistant/Node-Red needs to contain =:= as a separator between variable names and values. When I debug messages in Node-Red it reports the payload properly like this, which is what I want:
‘“hanotification=:=Lock_front_door_lock=:=locked=:=TTS=:=locked by thumb turn=:=Lock_front_door_lock_update=:=12:24=:=LockID=:=ha-lock”’
However, whatever service I call, the value/command sent to that service substitues the equal-sign for the hex code & # x 3 D ; (without the spaces as this site translates the code to =)
How do I maintain my equal signs in the message being sent from Node-Red? This is not an issue when running the automation through HA.
Please see image below; the payload I want sent above, the actual message being sent below:
