What I’m trying to do: Turn my AV on when my tv powers on. I have a flow configured that does the opposite and is working, it turns the TV off when the AV powers off. When I inject into the service manually it does work in turning the AV unit on, so my problem has to be with the trigger state, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.
It’s been about a year since I tried to configure anything in HA/Node Red so I’ve forgotten what little I’d learned, I’m sure this is a simple mistake.
If you put a debug node on both outputs of the trigger state, what do the debug nodes show?
I’m not sure how to get a result for that? I’ve attached debug to both of the outputs, but I don’t see a way to actually fire off the trigger state in order to get any output:
I usually do a debug node for each output (one debug node for the top output and another for the bottom output). Then “Deploy”, then click on the debug button:
Then try to get the media_player.living_room state ‘on’ and ‘off’ however you expect that to happen in the real world.
I would also monitor that same entity state in HA entities to confirm that it is going on and off:
I was using the wrong entity in the trigger. Got it working. Thank you MaxK for the tips!
