Hello together,
i tried to get node red working together with Z Wave Js Ui.
The dokumentation is not clear.
In the node i must use an Controllernode.
But i have an controller already with Zwave Js UI aktive.
Is it possible to get both working together.
i want to test it, but i dont konw if it breaks my Zwave Js Ui and that was hard work today to get it running.
Thanks for help in advanced.
Greetings Christoph
Hi Christoph!
Sorry, but what is that a screen shot of? Is that from within Node Red?
Perhaps it would help if you describe more clearly what it is you are trying to do…
Hi,
Yes the screenshot is from node red.
I tried to use automations via node red to switch on lights in my zwave network.
I can do it with home assistant the entitys are there and can be used in the dashboards.
But i want use node red for an better overview, and that is not working.
I dont find an good instruction, how to use node red with zwave devices.
the new screenshot shows u that there is an problem with no connection but i dont why.
Did u use also zwave devices?
regards Christoph
Node red controls home assistant. Home assistant controls the zwave entities. That’s the way it works.
you have two ways at least.
The easiest and most common one is to control HA entities. NodeRed can see changes to all HA entities. It can control them, ie turning light on.
Another way is to instal Zwave integration within NodeRed. It will work but it will not reflect devices in HA automatically. thus you will be responsible to create lights, switches, sensors reflecting your zwave devices in HA using NodeRed.
Note, that using both ways at the same time requires two separate zwave networks so I guess it’s not your option.
My guess is that you will be satisfied with the first option. You have to have NR with HomeAssistant nodes, as well as NR custom integration has to be installed from HACS- both needed to allow NR to see and control HA entities
Oh my god thank u very much i have missed the installation from HACS, now it is working. Thank u <3
