Hey all, So I'm relatively new to node-red and have a seems-easy-can't-figure-it-out problem I'm creating a remote with a zigbee IR blaster and building out the automations in Node-red. While automation is working - I'm cleaning it up a bit to look better and trying to do the following. Button press (IR code as payload) ->> node?? JSON template I can put payload in as a variable ->> MQTT node. I am just looking for whatever node goes in the middle. I just need a node where I can place the JSON format and insert the IR code from the previous Node. Thanks!

Looking for some well priced door sensors. I heard the Xfinity / Comcast ones on ebay do well and also do temperature. Anyone have any experience with them or know if anything better priced?

Hey all! Did some research on this but does not seem to be too much out there on this subject. Does anyone have any battery operated candles they have successfully integrated with Homeassistant? The number one solution I see is buying candles with a remote and then using a IR bridge to turn them on and off. I'm not sure how reliable this ost or where to start. I think I would need a IR bridge for at least two different parts of the house that then connect back to home assistant and then I would also need candles with IT remotes that I could control from the hass bridge.
