Hi, I met a problem while following your tutorial, about the payload template you showed at around 6:30 time mark. I copied the code from your blog, which appears in the description, then I 'play'ed it, and the Ulanzi showed scrolling text but with 'none' in every number fields, such as "Temp none•C" and so on. What's more, the Ulanzi gets turned off every time, after about 10-15 seconds after being turned on. What could I have done wrong? Any ideas?
Hard to say. It can be because of wrong icons. Last time I have had this issue. You can add debug nodes do each nodes in the flow and see errors in debug section (small bug icon in Node-RED panel). Basically it is because of the node that communicate with the weather addon through MQTT. It looks like weather is not able to pick up correctly the data. Try to catch me via Messenger. On my website there is my Facebook fanpage. Then I can try to help via Teams.
@@sysadmin-info Hi again! I finally got this working. What I missed previously was to change the Entity ID after copying your code. Clock turning off was just because of the battery, as I forgot to plug in. I couldn't be more stupid. Also I noticed that as I imported your flow, 'format weather message' node was copied to the current flow, and three other nodes were copied in the newly generated 'weather display' flow. I could have done something wrong again. :) I have watched many of your videos on Ulanzi, and they have all been really great for a noob like myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello Thanks for demonstration For the moment i have an error with the "get Weather node" "Not found" , I have follow your instructions for the iEntity ID . Maybe i don't understand the Base URL.. Thank you for help . Philippe
entity ID is just generated by the so called addon. It does not matter which weather addon you will use: Accu Weather or anything else. Each addon has own entity ID pattern and that is why I mentioned about it. You have to check the entity ID that is displaeyd, copy it and use it as I presented.
@@sysadmin-info That's what i have done with the right entityid , also tried with another addon , but the problem still there.: Get Weather State : Not found : jul 25.. Is the Base url always the same ? When i push the search button near BAse url nothing is returned , maybe an access problem ? the token? Thx
@@PhilErgbase URL is on fact an address of the Home Assistant and yes it is always the same. Usually I run Home Assistant on a localhost, you can try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, or 127.0.0.1. Eventually you can choose different IP. You can check URL of the Home Assistant in settings -> network configuration as I presented. The token is generated by you to have a so called long live token.
@@sysadmin-info Thanks for all , i diddn't see that there was a problem with the locla URL , i resolved this and it's okay to get the weather state. But another problem is that i can't see any icon on the display. I did well upload the icons with the right id number. But Thanks for your help. Philippe
Check the Ulanzi web panel, there is a section files manager there. Go there, expand icons directory in tree on a left side and make sure that the icon in fact is uplpaded to Ulanzi TC001 device (in fact it is ESP32 inside). The icon ID is just a file name of the icon so you can rename it inside file manager keeping the extension and then just use a name of the file inside the flow (without the extension). I hope I explained it enough well.
Hello. Thank you very much for this amazing demonstration. I have a problem with my version of Home Assitant. Actually when i want to create some automation, on the page MQTT Publish, i don't have the "Payload Template" field but only the "Payload" field. How it is possible ? I don't know...
I checked. MQTT Mosquito Broker changed. Now there is no template template, but only template. But you missed the switch that exists there and if you will toggle / swipe it to turn on templates for Payload, then it works. Cheers.

@@sysadmin-info Alright I will try what I can with clues you suggested. Thanks and I’ll let you know how it goes 😄
