Using HA Sensor Node options

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I’m using the Home Assistant entities nodes along with the Node-RED companion to get my alarm system zones into HA. The sensor node has options for Attributes and Output properties, but there is only minimal documentation about these.

Could anyone expalin what they are for and how they might be used?

For attributes, the left column will be the name of the attribute and the right column the value.

Output properties are properties added to the message object when a message is received.

Thanks for the reply Kermit, I know that makes perfect sense to you, but for a noob like me I am struggling to see how I should (or could) these options :thinking: :exploding_head::laughing:
I will keep experimenting…
