0.57.0 beta 1

Welcome to the Home Assistant WebSocket Node-RED Beta Release Notes

Always recommend doing a backup of your flows before upgrading.

Breaking Changes

Exposure As:
We've completely overhauled the "expose as" system! Now, it uses a switch entity config, allowing a single switch entity to control multiple event nodes. Please note that this is a breaking change. To continue using the expose as functionality, make sure to update the node schema from the Node-RED UI.

Trigger Service:
We've simplified the trigger service. It now accepts only two optional data properties: output_path and message.

• output_path: Specify a comma-separated list of paths to send the message to. Use '0' to send the message to all paths.
• message: Define the message object to be sent to the next node.

Device Node:
In the companion integration, we've updated the endpoints. To ensure proper functionality, you'll need version 3.0.0+ for this node.
