H,

I have an enity containing multiple attributes to change the setting of my converter..  
My output of thenode needs to change the attribute. However, these attribues are not being displayed by the node automatically. The node gets his entity grom home assistant.  
I guess I need to put in someting in the data field but not sure what.  
Hopefully one of you can help me how to configure this properly

Welcome to the forum @Rincovanderbeek

I think that is a home assistant question rather than node red, so you might be better asking on a HA forum. Few here use HA, preferring to avoid that complexity and just use node red.

Ok, thanks for your input.  
I'll check on HA forum.  
Node-Red indeed is nice to use.
