Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I haven't seen the video yet (can't atm), but is this really HomeAssistant + Node-RED or is this Hass.io + Node-RED like all the other video's I found?
I'm using HA in Docker which seems to be different from Hass.io, including the way you integrate Node-RED. I'd really like to integrate Node-RED in my installation.
Anyways, if it is or if it isn't what I need, thanks either way! A video like this is always helpful.
You could group up your wifes device tracker and your device tracker. I'm doing this with my PC and my TV:
groups.yaml:
niklas_zimmer_state: binary_sensor.niklas_pc, binary_sensor.samsung_tv
In Node-Red I can just use the
group.niklas_zimmer_state
it change fromnot_home
tohome
when one of the devices is on.I guess I'm a little more thick headed than I originally thought.
I've been reading for months about how NR is just "better" than yaml and native automations for HASS. I finally bit the bullet, installed, and gave it a shot.
I just don't get it. I tried to set up what I thought was a simple enough notification sequence using a geofence to indicate if I'm in a specific area. I know that the part of the sequence that gets my location from MQTT is working. And the sensor I'm using thto trigger the notification is working. But all I've been able to do is send the notification ALL THE TIME, without regard for my geofence and location, or never send the notification.
Nice video, I've been using node red with home assistant for a little while and picked up some useful info. I like what you're doing with this channel, keep it up :)

It's probably confusing without the visuals though
These videos are seriously awesome. Thank you!
Looks like the youtube scene is getting competitive!

(I know you respect DrZzs, just funny coincidence)
YES. Thank you for this!
Edit: Strange that this got downvoted?
Hey would you happen to have an idea how to create the following: If both husband & wife status = just arrived then turn light 1 red if husband = just arrived then turn light 1 green if wife = just arrived then turn light 1 orange
This is assuming there are 2 current state nodes being called at the same time. I'm just not sure how to run boolean logic vs in YAML it was very easy.
