No Data field on nodes #23

Closed ChrisHaccour closed 1 year ago

ChrisHaccour commented 1 year ago

Hello dehsgr,

I might be confused, but the "control" and "quickaction" nodes have no field to put values in. All I have is a "evohome" and a "name" field ....

I'm using node red under Home Assistant, perhaps that makes a difference? I've also tried restarting my HA, but no difference

Can you help me out?

Regards, Chris.

BTW, the "status" node works as described

dehsgr commented 1 year ago

You have to inject the data via another node. 😉

This is nothing special in dependency of node-red or HA.

ChrisHaccour commented 1 year ago

Do you mean by something like a "call service" node? But the controle node has no output, so I can't link another node to it.

ChrisHaccour commented 1 year ago

and what is then the advantage of the control node in between?

ChrisHaccour commented 1 year ago

or which kind of node do I use to send the json?

dehsgr commented 1 year ago

I mean e.g. sth. like an inject node for your first try/tries. The control node is for sending some configuration to evohome; the status node is to retrieve the status.

Sorry, but this is an issue tracker and not a node-red basics support platform. 😉

yes, I'm sorry that my questions might be pretty basic. But I'm fairly new to HA/Node Red, I can get around but I'm no expert by any means. I'll try out a few things and see where I end up, I now got a better idea of how this works (I think ;-))
