This block is part of the globals group and was last modified in core v15.0.0.

get device state condition v15.0.0

Reads one capability from one device : is the motion sensor triggered, what is the temperature.

In pins 2 + flow

Out pins 5 + flow

flow v15.0.0
flow
state known v15.0.0
condition
False when this device has not reported this capability yet. Do not read `value` when this is false.
value v15.0.0
value
boolean v15.0.0
condition
The value coerced to true/false, for branching.
number v15.0.0
number
The value coerced to a number.
device v15.0.0
object

Returns the last reported value of one capability. `state_known` is false when the node has not heard that capability from that device since it started; in that case `value` is empty and MUST NOT be read as false or zero. This distinction is why the pin exists.
