Node-RED nodes for hubitat

I forget to uncheck that box almost everytime I add a device and don't want it sending.

@fblackburn I know this is petty but how hard would it be to change the color of the status box of a Device Node to keep it blue if it's sending events and changing to another color if it is not? Or pick 2 other colors.

Just wanted to share two nodes that are useful to me and may be useful to others:

I have a pi-hole on my network and it messes up some Roku channels (notably PBS). node-red-contrib-pi-hole-remote makes it easy to disable pi-hole when any TV turns on, and enable it when the TV turns off.

Also node-red-contrib-sonos-http-api is useful to control Sonos if you are already using node-sonos-http-api.

I would vote for hollow ring vs filled in dot, but there is no right/wrong here...

Hopefully they release pihole 5 soon as I believe they allow per client filtering on that version. I've been waiting for this feature for a while. :crossed_fingers:

Is anyone using the node-red-contrib-huemagic to control their Hue devices?

I've just started testing it and it generally works great but I've come across an issue where 2 instances of the exact same node show a different status. Sometimes they are in sync, but often they are not and it is causing me some problems. It isn't just an update issue as the page below has been the same for 20 minutes. I'm going to post an issue on Github, but with all the NR experts on here I figured someone might have some ideas.

HueMagic

That works too. Just something that's easily distinguishable just by looking at it. The hollow dot for the Sending Events box being unchecked makes perfect sense to me. I don't know what the shape options are.

The options are pretty limited. This is ALL of the icon options:

Well since the current square on the device is a solid blue, then I am with you on the open box if Send Events is unchecked. Now, we need to talk @fblackburn making the effort to make that happen.

Never know. @dan.t might get bored and put in a pr for it before @fblackburn gets back home again. :wink:

Worked perfectly. With that and Pi-Shrink my backup image is only 6 gig. :slight_smile: I also found that PiShrink runs the fdsk clean you have to do on the image automatically. So it should restore a lot easier. Going to test that later today. So much easier. Now to automate it for once a month. Thank you again!!!!

Good to hear!!! I also pipe mine through pv (has to be installed via apt) so I can watch status (but there are other ways to do that, too, so you might have a different/better way of watching progress).

Like this:
sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M | gzip | pv | dd of=/mnt/backup/RPi/zway.gz

But you probably can't use pishrink on images compressed with gzip... Never really thought about it.

EDIT: I probably do need to think through a better workflow... Would be nicer to do the dd without gzip, then use pishrink... But I don't want to keep copying the images back and forth, and can't easily do pishrink on the destination machine. Will need to think on that.

I don't care what absolutely everyone else says about you behind your back... I think your great!

(:wink: that was a joke in case the written word doesn't convey the sarcasm/smart assieness).

New challenge. Make the mode node (it rhymes) two way. Or add a mode command node.

For sure possible, but I'll wait now a bit until @fblackburn is back, I don't want to take over his plugin.... Who knows what he has already in store for us.

Hey @stephen_nutt, sorry if this has been answered before. but is there a way to centred the Title?

Thanks

These are your other options:

You just change the Layout (highlighted):

I don't how to center the heading, "MAIN"

In this isolation time, you guys seem to have a lot of time :stuck_out_tongue:
I'm not be able to review these PRs before sunday, so you will need to wait a little bit

Yep really nice idea

For the mode node two ways, I already though about it, before doing a PR, you can open a issue to discuss about the way you see this


the only thing that upset me is the lack of documentation about these API (mode, hsm)

DON'T TELL MY OFFICE!!!!!! I am having writer's block on what else I want to do with this Hubitat/Node Red Integration. Fortunately, i have some more Wyze Motion & Contact sensors coming tomorrow so integrating them will give me something to do.
