What is your idea?

Hello! Sometimes I need to hide some devices from my Home app. Now this happens if you enable and disable the HK nodes. But this cannot work automatically. It would be very cool if a parameter could be sent to a node and this device was enabled or disabled.

Hello! This is possible already. We discussed it a bit in issue #334 - I recommend you read through that issue then come back here if you need more help.

The idea would be to use the nodered API to enable/disable your nodes. Have a look and let us know your next questions!

This is incredible! just amazing) this is exactly what I was looking for)

I tried it and it worked!

By the way, on the Internet this is a demanded function (enable and disable flow), but everyone writes that this is impossible)

We don't mess around over here. I'm glad it works! Also nice that we "solved" it already a year ago 😉
