Hi guys, I working on my device and I have doubts how to working with context global variable object properties. You can see bellow my global context variable: My global variable object and properties [image] I was use this function code to get object property storage on global variable, but I do…

Hi there, I have a challenge that I´m working on now for days, which, for Node-Red Pros is probably the most easy thing to solve. But as I just can´t get my head around it, I just address this to the community and see if this can be easily solved :slight_smile: Here is my setup: Beside Home Assist…

[image] RonMa: I want to use this information in I all kind of different flows but I just don´t know how to access this data. This can probably be done by any kind of Java Script magic in a function node but as I have literally zero coding skills, I´m quite limited here As a new user to node-…

Thanks much @Steve-Mcl for your fast feedback. Maybe I didn´t make myself clear enough: In general I have no issue to access information from any kind of objects. I just struggle with the object data that are stored in the global context as shown in the picture

It's almost the same. Use the copy path button that appears on the item of interest when you hover over it. Then you can paste that into the change node to copy the value into payload then pass that to the node you want to use.

Alright, here is a very simple example of a test - flow: [example_flow] That´s written in the function node: if (nodes[3].attributes[0].current_value === 0) { return{payload: msg.payload.nodes[3].attributes[0].current_value} }``` And that's the output I get on the debug node: > ReferenceErro…

This finally worked for me: var ObtainedData = global.get("homee.nodes[3].attributes[0].current_value"); msg.payload = ObtainedData; return msg; Thanks much @knolleary

@knolleary - Can u maybe help me with one more simple request. I´m trying to check the status of a flow variable in a function node but somehow the result is always "false" even if the actual status is true... if (flow.get(schutz_aktiviert) === true){ msg.payload = "put:/nodes/67/attributes/192…

[image] RonMa: flow.get(schutz_aktiviert) Is shutz_aktiviert a variable containing the flow variable name string or did you mean flow.get("schutz_aktiviert")

Jesus, I forget the " " :face_with_hand_over_mouth: - Thanks much @Colin

I am surprised you did not get an error from that.

@RonMa to get a global context value you have to use the global.get() function:

global.get("homee.nodes[3].attributes[0].current_value")
