I am having trouble getting this Whin node to work and I think it's because the Rapidapi screen shown in the instructions is not the same as what appears in the real world. There is nowhere to put the 5 digit code. Just wondering if anyone has used these nodes or are they abandoned or something ?

If you want help, it helps if you give the full name of the node you are referencing. If you are referencing node-red-whin-whatsapp you should try opening an issue with the nodes author on GitHub. GitHub - inUtil-info/whin2-contrib: whin is a node-red set of nodes that allow users to send and recei…

I am sure they are (were) fine but personally, being a gateway offered by someone I would not use them nodes. Whatsapp, in their wisdom, do not offer a direct API (hense the custom, non meta gateway) You have not stated which node you are using but at a guess node-red-whin-whatsapp (node) - Node-RE…

Yes that's the one. I have sent a message to where they tell you to send one if you have an issue. About a week ago, but no response. I did have a look at telegram but seems complicated, probably no more complicated than Whin but then I've already invested my time and energy in that but I suppose …

Personally I use Pushover. Super simple. There is a one time charge of about $5 but that allows multiple clients, multiple channels, and for me it is rock solid.

I had a look at Pushover and I assume that installs on the phone ? I'll explain my exact use-case: when my solar batteries are nearly fully charged I want a text message to be sent to my phone so I can react to the situation wherever I happen to be. What I had before was just a message saying "95%"…

Hi, yes. It can send simple text, and/ or images if required, you can also set importance so can override silent setting at client. All simple stuff.

Thanks guys, for the recommendations. My only problem is the word "simple", it is a relative term !

Thanks, but it's actually not the flows, I can just about get those. It's all the messing about with api keys and other stuff, that always seem to take days to get anything to work. I'll give it a go soon and report back.

Telegram has a lot of features (like showing custom keyboards for quick replies to your Node-RED) but you dont have to be complex and there are many users on here who use telegram who can help you. You just have to start & iterate.
