Hi all,
Wanted to know what you all use thats the most accurate / reliable to build a flow to notify me when the grid is lost and the inverter starts inverting.
Just wanted to make sure I was using the correct, most accurate one.
asked
Which Flow is best - For notifying when grid is lost
Why don't you just use the native "monitor for grid failure" under GX system setup?
Will trigger a push notification for failure and recovery using the phone app and related email.
I use that works really well, I want to spin off a bunch of home automation as well as notification in other systems, hence why I wanted to use it out of a flow - if that makes sense?
So I just pull the AC-input state from the system node. If grid is lost it will be in the NA/invert state.
And a function for displaying the state more meaningfully:
var status;
if ( msg.payload == '1' ) {
msg.payload = 'Grid is On'; }
if ( msg.payload == '0' ) {
msg.payload = 'Grid is Off'; }
if ( msg.payload == '240' ) {
msg.payload = 'Inverting'; }
return msg;
