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:

  • number – converts numeric strings to numbers

  • boolean – converts strings to boolean values based on the following rules:

    • If the value is a number, it returns true for any non-zero number and false for zero.
    • If the value is a string, it trims and lowercases the string, returning true for "true", false for "false", or attempts to convert numeric strings to a boolean based on their numeric value.
    • For all other types or unrecognized values, it returns false.

  • Home Assistant boolean – converts "y", "yes", "true", "on", "home", and "open" to true boolean values and everything else to false. These can be customized in the server node config settings.

config

Outputs the node’s configuration properties.
