About the state object

entity id

Outputs the entity ID of the triggered entity.

entity state

Outputs the current state of the triggered entity. All states received from Home Assistant are strings, but you can apply common type conversions:

• string (default): No conversion is applied; the state remains as text.

• number: Converts the state to a numeric value.

• boolean: Converts the state to true or false using standard logic:

  • If the value is already a boolean, it’s used as-is.
  • Numbers: non-zero values become true, and 0 becomes false.
  • Strings: "true" → true, "false" → false, numeric strings like "1" or "42" → true, and "0" → false.
  • Any other or unrecognized value results in false.

• Home Assistant State Boolean: Converts the state to true if it matches one of the configured true values (e.g., "on", "open", "locked"), otherwise false.

config

Outputs the node’s configuration properties.
