Trigger flow with state of "show_header_toggle"

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi all,

Is it possible to start a flow with the state of ‘show_header_toggle’ (true or false) from type: entities?
I don’t think so because you can’t use it as a part of an automation in Home Assistant. But maybe somebody can help out :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Jelle

show_header_toggle as in in the lovelace card from front end. I doubt it will work, but what is your use case? maybe we can suggest another way if we can understand what are you trying to achieve.

Indeed: I would like to use the binary data from show_header_toggle from the Lovelace front end to start a flow in Node-Red, as you would do with a regular input_boolean

The work-around would be to create a Flow in Node-Red to do the same thing as the toggle does in Lovelace, but that seems too much work / prone for errors

how many entities you have in that card and what are they? lights?

They are also true or false booleans, 4 in total

maybe you can create a group for them and use the group entity as trigger?
