HST is the maintainer

Neat!

But only for HS4???

[concordseer]

All looking good. I use it elsewhere and was looking forward to its arrival in HST. More good news.

wow, you were quick to find it! I uploaded it this morning.
the webhook stuff will only be in the next version of HS4 (4.1.3), so you need to wait for this version to be able to test the device updates.
it's a first version and my first experience with Node-RED and Node,js code, so there may be some enhancements/fixes to do. You can post your issues or pull requests on github: https://github.com/HomeSeer/node-red-contrib-homeseer

[concordseer]

Looking forward to testing it for you after the next upgrade.

Great addition !

The palette only shows ways for triggering events or device actions. Currently not possible to have a flow triggered when a HS device changes state or an event is exceuted/triggered ?

HS device changes are sent through the output of the "HS Device" node, see HS Device section in the project home page: https://github.com/HomeSeer/node-red-contrib-homeseer.
So yes you can trigger a flow based on a device value or status change.


But HS events can only be triggered for now.

Wow!

Another good reason to staying awake!

One more thing left is supported Docker containers of HSTouch or HomeSeer Pleaseeeeeee?

Man,
You don't know what you have done right there ! Give yourself " a pat on the back" and plenty kudos from this end!

Just add this Node : https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-...ntrib-bigtimer and let the magic begin!

Can't find that in the docs. Also the screenshot (with the 2 nodes with an input and output) suggest it is only for modifying a device/feature, and not triggering on a state change. Or did I miss something?

Great work Spud, nice to see HS finally being available. This will open up a lot of possibilities!

the part of the doc I'm referring to is:

Every time the device value or status changes in HomeSeer the node will send to its output a message containing the new state of the device in msg.payload

{ payload: { ref: 1234, value: 1, status: 'On' } }

I will add a screenshot of a HS Device node used to trigger a flow

I would like an HSTouch dashboard...................................well, just being greedy!

You don't have to answer or keep your cards to your chest but I the luck there is of a Location plugin (PHLocation not supported anymore), Are we going to see another MyHS addition similar to this ? : https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-...b-webhookrelay

It's all right there......................Node-RED is addictive

This is amazing, but for a really old guy that has NO experience with Node-RED, this is truly an attempt to drink from a firehose - a large one, at that.

So, I have a few simple-ish questions created from trying to understand what Node-RED is and how it works.

1) It appears that functions use javascript - is there a visual programming environment?

2) Would the "Node-RED Dashboard" dashboards work under HSTouch and Designer?

3) Is it possible to wire between plugins?

3.1) Will Alexa be a node? Can we get her to speak?

4) How difficult will this concept and javascript programming be, to master?


I can't figure out whether I should be jumping around like a crazy man because I just found the holy grail or whether I've just been given the tools used to program the computer onboard the Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-K).
