It is rare for entities in home assistant to need to be polled. If you use those entities in an
event statenode, they will trigger whenever there is an update.
My use case involves extracting values regardless of state changes and hence the polling. I am able to poll and send via mqtt an individual entity state every 60 secs. (see screenshot for flow) and I was wondering if I could do the same for a group of entities and not just a single one.
get entitiesis for finding entities e.g. find all door or window sensors that are reporting open.
I see. So I infer there's no way to obtain entity state values.
examples for the
get entitiesnode at the bottom of this page
I'm not sure where in the gui one enters the payload similar to the one at the bottom of the page. Don't know if HA's Node-red GUI allows for that
Thanks!
