I want to share with you my recent development with Hubitat and Node-RED . node-red-contrib-hubitat It is some generic nodes to facilitate the integration with Hubitat. The challenge was to found the middle between generic and easy of use. I will be very happy to have your feedbacks and discuss abou…

[image] JasonJoel: it shouldn't be THAT hard to add initialization and caching I may quote this again later ! Thinking about this it's likely only a few incoming payloads need caching - either at connect or on event. If the solution handled individual or wildcarded topic subscriptions that w…

[image] kevin: I may quote this again later ! Fair enough - and you are likely right. :slight_smile: 99% of the work is in the config node to make a list of all topics used in all mqtt-in nodes, fetch retained value/build cache on initialization, and update cache on topic updates. Would nee…

Wouldn't your 'professional' use of Node-RED make this something your company would sponsor ? I can see it being very useful to them.

Maybe. Good point, as it has come up before in that context... The rub there is they don't like me to open source internal development (usually). Might be worth an internal discussion, though.

You could request device event history from the Maker API.. and maybe parse/store those. Might have to play around with deduping. http://[HE url]/apps/api/[maker instance id]/devices?access_token=[the access token] http://[HE url]/apps/api/[maker instance id]/devices/[Device ID]/events?access_token…

[image] erktrek: You could request device event history from the Maker API. @erktrek - is this any better than just subscribing to the events using the Node-Red/Hubitat API?( node-red-contrib-hubitat (node) - Node-RED )[ node-red-contrib-hubitat (node) - Node-RED ] I have that working and am ab…

I would probably do it the way you are doing it, or something pretty similar. There are lots of ways to do it, though.

Yeah I think you are correct that seems like a better approach. I had just been working on parsing some info from Maker outside of the Nodes when you posted so was in that frame of mind :laughing:- when you have a hammer ... :hammer:
