It's taken me the last 24 hours (more or less) to wrap my head around the settings for this but now I have it operating with two ping checks, my security lighting activates 5 minutes after we both leave the house. Thanks Rob for the great videos you're putting out on Node Red. I'm a rank amateur with a 2 week old HASS/Node Red setup and so far it's proving to be a fantastic tool for home automation.

I first got dragged down the rabbit hole that is home automation and Home Assistant when I referenced your video on automating a Roomba to build a robotic butler a year ago.... this was the second video of yours I watched and I find myself coming back to it time and time again to find the solutions to all the home automation projects I've done since

I had to laugh at one point in this excellent video - I remembered a line in the original Ghostbuster - where Bill Murray says "Ray, pretend, for a moment, I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics - and just tell me what the hell is going on". There is a LOT of info here that would be so much easier to understand if one had a previous background of javascript and json and the like - something that in my IT career I never felt the need to get into - it was challenging enough just to try to stay current on ever changing world of routing and switching and security and the like. Now that I'm retired I want to get a better understanding of those concepts so this video was a great motivation to do some reading. It a 17 minute video but I spent several hours going thru it - making notes and creating bread crumbs to follow later. Great job you did - I still have lots of questions about exactly what's happening but much further along along now than I was...

I must say, great video. I’m an avid user of node-red and learned new techniques. As a side note, took me a while to find your channel. I was watching Dr.Zzs video and I thought the channel would be in the description and it wasn’t, so I thought I’d search “the hook up” on KZfaq search and couldn’t find the channel either, I get music videos and movie scenes, after pages of turning and refining the search found the channel. Great videos. Keep ‘em coming.

Thanks. That helped. The WS version of the pallet is has a different event state detector which includes a condition, then two outputs, one if true, one if false. That IMO makes it much easier to understand visually. But, I was overthinking how to do a logical AND/OR, and this helped.

Suggestions for future flows: A simple common one I see people doing are motion triggers with timers to turn out a light once the motion is gone after a bit. Then possibly another with a state change firing off a reminder about something say a door left open, then every 5 minutes it reminds you with a notification or TTS message, but if the door is closed, stop the 5 minute timer and fire off a thank you notification of some sort.
@TheHookUp 6 жыл бұрын
Those are great suggestions. Sounds like a job for the trigger node.
@pangit9999 6 жыл бұрын
To add to that some sort of loop so that if the motion gets triggered again (ie you're still in the room) the timer resets and the light stays on for another X minutes. Wifey is not happy if the lights go off when she's still in the room! Lol

As an oldie ,beginner and I guess a dummie, I am having difficulty making progress with Automations with HA. I would really appreciate if you could one day make a video assuming a lesser degree of understanding for beginners such as myself. As an example I am trying to understand how I can set up tracking or even presence detection using IOS (ipad). HA shows my position at home regardless whether I have my ipad switched on or off. My ipad is shown as an entity which is used to determine my location. I feel if I could grasp a concept such as that, I could start to make some progress. Perhaps other beginners are having such difficulties. You do a great job with your videos.

I now have node red working and have been experimenting with my first flows. I started off with a media / NAS server running unRAID (uses docker) and a smartthings hub I added for z-wave control. I setup the smartthings app/bridge to an MQTT broker running on my server. I also setup nodeRED and HomeAssistant through docker and connected them all together. I have a question though, is there any advantage to using the HomeAssistant palette in NodeRED compared to using MQTT nodes directly? (both will work)

Hi, Just wanted to say loving this video series you are doing. I've switched my current automations over to Node-Red; and am even trying new things as it seems easier for the most part to visualize the flow. Would it be possible to someday cover how to get state information from HA; and merging of messages from two sources? I have an automation that tracks my washing machine and I would like to add how long each wash cycle takes to the message but have no idea how to get the information from HA and merge two payload messages together. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what videos you release over the summer!

So on the last video I asked why to use Node-RED when you can do all the things in Home Assistant itself. Now I read a bit into Node-RED and I would like to know, why use Home Assistant at all? Couldn’t you control all of your devices with one of the hundreds addons, through MQTT and use Node-RED Dashboard for browser control, etc.?
@TheHookUp 6 жыл бұрын
Copy/Paste from a similar question I answered on reddit: The quick answer is that Home Assistant (HA) is a superior component platform. It's unbelievably easy to add devices to HA and there are hundreds of hobbiests working tirelessly to integrate popular hardware as it becomes available. HA also has an iOS app with built in (albeit spotty) device tracking, and actionable notifications. AFAIK node red dashboard only runs in a browser. Node-RED is a superior automation platform, writing automations in yaml sucks, so combining the compatibility of HA with the automation power of node-red really gives the best possible end result.

I would also like to add that the dashboard interface has some issues, especially with sliders. Using Home Assistant has a much slicker interface with the Appdeamon 3 dashboard. It’s also much more configurable for to match the sizes of different devices, such as phones or tablets.

ha! I was about to ask the same question after dozens of videos of you, DrZzz and others. Watching you writing all those hard-to-remember yamal stuff looks quite painful. One visible advantage is notification system on mobile (havn't checked if available on android). So after seing the answer I would guess: "do as much as possible in node-red and check HA only, when NR can't do something"? Cheers!

I have started working with this again in Nodered. I can get the home to recognize when my wife or myself comes home and turn on some automations. I have a problem when one of us leaves the house it does not recognize that the other person is still in the house. I am using a current state mode between the state node and the call service node. I have tried to set it up like you explained in the video. But with the changes to Nodered some for the attributes you were discussing I do not see in Nodered. Any suggestions?

I just got started with Home Assistant and my first task was to try and send a motion detected message to my LG OLED TV. I can get a basic text message to appear but trying to do anything more complicated gives me error messages. I’m going to try Node Red. The thing I’m missing is how are the two integrated? Does code from Node Red appear as an Automations in Home Assistant or is it kept outside of Home Assistant and Node Red must be running on the same machine? Just wasn’t clear to me how it all connects.

What about setting up groups? I have a "Jimmie", "Syrease" & "Home Occupied" group that checks for our GPS, Wifi & Bluetooth presence; If any are present then the group is "home"; Only if ALL are "not_home" does the group set to "not_home". If either of us are home, then the "home_occupied" group is set to home. Just another way about it, your way works perfect too.

Great videos, this seemed the most appropriate place to ask a question. HA and Node-Red are both fantastic, I use them in my setup. BUT.........with lots of various IoT devices, do you staticly assign th IPs to your devices or do you use DHCP? if the latter, then how do you handle possible changes to a device IP in HA?

can someone point to a tutorial for actual HA and Node-Red beginners because pretty much all videos on this hookup channel are for intermediate or advanced users. Many aspects of this video assume me to know how to do many steps: 1. setup input boolean for the phone as the house occupied 2. Setup toggle when phone connects/disconnect from the wifi 3. cannot follow instructions to set up events state node because I do not see entity ID as input.boolean of any kind 4. I am new to JSON and would love to use services function in HA however in my case when I select service type I do not get any option to choose an entity on most (not all) service types. could someone explain why? all those questions just from the first 5 minutes of the video... any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching all over the internet for any tutorial for node-red and HA but nothing for actual beginners available.

Question; at 15:44 in the overview you have the storing of the light state and the delay of 1 sec. Couldn't you have done it in such a way that it goes instead of this: - Away (if state) > Other Ben Light (get state) > Other Ben Light Flow (store variable) - after 1 sec, turn everything off To this: - Away (if state) > Other Ben Light (get state) > Other Ben Light Flow (store variable) > Turn off
@TheHookUp 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can do that now. The current state node used to be a bit buggy so I did it that way to avoid issues. The current implementation is much easier to use and will work as you described.

@TheHookUp 4 жыл бұрын
You can set up multiple brokers in node red. If you want you can just pipe 100% of the data from your solar system into your HA MQTT in node red, but I'm not sure I'd recommend that. Instead, I'd set up an MQTT in node with the specific topic you are looking to get data from on your solar MQTT and then pipe it into an MQTT out topic for your HA, then set up a mqtt sensor in HA to show the data from that topic.

Hello, I'm trying to implement this: My idea is: create a dusk till dawn light that will automatically dim to a certain % at some point during the night and remains dimmed until it is automatically switched off. Implementing the dusk till down part was pretty easy thanks to the big timer. What a powerful component! However, I have not got around to implementing the dimming part. The part I’m currently stuck at is by far storing and formating what the slider generates. In principle, what I’ve put together does capture the value, although the intermediate steps seem to introduce noice. Additionally, I can’t seem to be able to monitor the changes because once the slider has reached the first stable value, whatever I do simply does not get upadated (the brightness doesn’t change anymore). I just can't get it to work. Would you be willing to help me out with that one?
