How to update via Node Red? #17

Closed Swiftnesses closed 5 years ago

Swiftnesses commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Thank you for these excellent component, I've made some variables and would like to update / read them from Node Red, do you know if / how this is possible?

When I search for entities via Node Red it doesn't seem to locate them (all other components with entities seem to work okay...?).

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

Needed to reboot Node Red, sorted!

Spoke too soon, trying to set a state value results in:

"Error call service, home assistant api error. Error Message: Invalid format"

Can anyone offer some advice with regards what format (JSON) I need to send to update the variable?

Sorted, example JSON to use in the service card:

{ "variable": "test_variable_1", "value": "33" }
