number node: Mode: set value

[JosepFarreLlados]

Thanks for the great contribution!

I set a flow with a home assistant entities number node with properties Mode "set value" and the output properties are by default "msg.payload" and "msg.previousValue". A inject node is connected at the input and a debug node at output. Attached the code:
[ { "id": "a8fa1ef79ecff2b9", "type": "tab", "label": "Flow 1", "disabled": false, "info": "", "env": [] }, { "id": "362186dbf1a19edd", "type": "debug", "z": "a8fa1ef79ecff2b9", "name": "debug 10", "active": true, "tosidebar": true, "console": true, "tostatus": false, "complete": "true", "targetType": "full", "statusVal": "", "statusType": "auto", "x": 1070, "y": 280, "wires": [] }, { "id": "999dd8b9716c8fc3", "type": "ha-number", "z": "a8fa1ef79ecff2b9", "name": "Temps Reviso Camares", "version": 1, "debugenabled": false, "inputs": 1, "outputs": 1, "entityConfig": "ce01d90155228f27", "exposeAsEntityConfig": "", "mode": "set", "value": "payload", "valueType": "msg", "outputProperties": [ { "property": "payload", "propertyType": "msg", "value": "", "valueType": "value" }, { "property": "previousValue", "propertyType": "msg", "value": "", "valueType": "previousValue" } ], "x": 740, "y": 280, "wires": [ [ "362186dbf1a19edd" ] ] }, { "id": "236d667158c9ad63", "type": "inject", "z": "a8fa1ef79ecff2b9", "name": "", "props": [ { "p": "payload" } ], "repeat": "", "crontab": "", "once": false, "onceDelay": 0.1, "topic": "", "payload": "25", "payloadType": "num", "x": 310, "y": 280, "wires": [ [ "999dd8b9716c8fc3" ] ] }, { "id": "ce01d90155228f27", "type": "ha-entity-config", "server": "a3512df6e9ee4aff", "deviceConfig": "33411c67d1509552", "name": "Temps Reviso Camares", "version": "6", "entityType": "number", "haConfig": [ { "property": "name", "value": "Temps Reviso Camares" }, { "property": "icon", "value": "" }, { "property": "entity_picture", "value": "" }, { "property": "entity_category", "value": "" }, { "property": "device_class", "value": "" }, { "property": "unit_of_measurement", "value": "" }, { "property": "min_value", "value": "" }, { "property": "max_value", "value": "" }, { "property": "step_value", "value": "" }, { "property": "mode", "value": "auto" } ], "resend": false, "debugEnabled": false }, { "id": "a3512df6e9ee4aff", "type": "server", "name": "Home Assistant", "version": 5, "addon": false, "rejectUnauthorizedCerts": false, "ha_boolean": "y|yes|true|on|home|open", "connectionDelay": true, "cacheJson": true, "heartbeat": true, "heartbeatInterval": "30", "areaSelector": "friendlyName", "deviceSelector": "friendlyName", "entitySelector": "friendlyName", "statusSeparator": ": ", "statusYear": "hidden", "statusMonth": "short", "statusDay": "numeric", "statusHourCycle": "default", "statusTimeFormat": "h:m", "enableGlobalContextStore": true }, { "id": "33411c67d1509552", "type": "ha-device-config", "name": "Camares", "hwVersion": "", "manufacturer": "Node-RED", "model": "", "swVersion": "" } ]

When is set a number value through the inject node at the debug output appear the "msg.payload" and "msg.previousValue".
On other hand, when is set a number though the Home assistant app interface there are no output on Node-red number node. Despite this, when later is injected a number through the inject node, at the output is reached the "msg.previousValue" changed though the home assistant interface. This behavior is normal? It means that is not possible detect when a change come form the home assistant app interface?

With the voice control is necessary the possibility to set the values from both sites (Node-red input flow and Home assistant app interface) and reach a output each time that the number change.
Thanks in advance.

You'll need an additional number node set to "listen for changes" mode to ensure changes from Home Assistant are output to Node-RED.

Many thanks for your answer!!
So, your suggestion is to have two number nodes for a single parameter? Then at the Home Assistant app interface I must have two numbers, how I know which is t the right one? Maybe I misunderstood the solution

[zachowj]

You only need one entity configuration node. Then, set up two number nodes—one to listen for changes from Home Assistant and another to allow value changes from Node-RED.
